Q

What is reverse adaptation?

A

Mostly seen with pain. When pain receptor is exposed to prolonged pain and the receptor becomes more sensitive.

Thats why its important to take pain meds when prescribed and to tackle pain immediately

63
Q

Compare the posterior and anterior median fissures

A

The anterior is wider because it has a big artery in it.

64
Q

Describe the central canal

A

Flows through the middle of the Lamina X.

Lined with ciliated cells to carry CSF through spinal cord where it exits at the end and surrounds the spinal areas.

65
Q

Where is CSF produced?

A

In the brain

66
Q

Where does the motor function exit the spinal cord?

A

The ventral horns. Most anterior part of the butterfly in the spinal cord

Because without blood flow there is no communication

68
Q

Where does spinal cord get its blood from?

A

Mostly branches from the intercostal arteries from the ribs that connect to the cord

Arteries:
Posterior
Anterior
Segmental
Sulcal
Coronal

Spinal cord venous drainage;

A

Veins:
Posterior

Spinal
Radicular
Sulcal

70

Go to blank picture

73
Q

Where do the rootlets come together?

74
Q

Where do the roots come together?

A

The Spinal nerve

75
Q

What is special about the posterior root?

A

Has a large lump which is a collection of cell bodies from our pseudo unipolar neurons: called the spinal ganglion

76
Q

What are the 5 areas of the spine and how many vertebrae and spinal nerves do each have? How are they oriented?

A
  1. Cervial: 7 vertebrae; 8 spinal nerves. 1 spinal nerve PAIR above C1; all other spinal nerves below vertebrae starting at C2
  2. Thoracic: 12 vertebrae; 12 spinal nerves all below the vertebrae
  3. Lumbar: 5V; 5 spinal nerves all below the vertebrae

When we are born all we have is kyphotic curvature therefore there’s no balance and spine cant absorb shock.

A

Larger

Larger

97
Q

What vertebraes have bifid spinous processes?

A

C2-C5 almost always
C6 50% of the time
C7 3% of the time

98
Q

What is a bifid?

A

2 projections in the spinous process exclusive to the C-spine

99
Q

What are 2 traits that are special to all C-spine vertebrae?

A

They all have an additional set of foramen located in the transverse process: 2 arteries run through C1-C6; an artery does NOT run through C7

They have a sulcus in the transverse process for spinal nerves; This is a hallowed out transverse processes; This is a groove/cavity that neck spinal nerves lay in.

A

Atlas

Specialized vertebrae to stabilize the skull

Has unique connections with C2
