The articulation of atlanto occipital joint are the… and …
- occipital condyles
- superior facets of C1
The articulation of atlanto axial joint are… and…
- anterior arch of C1
- dens of C2
The atlanto-occipital joint is a synovial,… joint

The atlantoaxial joint is a synovia,… joint
pivot
The ROM of the atlanto-occipital joint is
flexion/extension
The ROM of the atlantoaxial joint is
rotation (supplies 50% of cervical rotation)
The cranial vault is lined with…. which is continuous inferiorly into spinal column
-periosteal dura mater
The superior extension of the posterior longitudinal ligament is..
tectorial membrane
The vertebral column has an… and… longitudinal ligament
anterior and posterior
The … longitudinal ligament is anterior to the vertebral body and spinal cord
anterior
The… longitudinal ligament is posterior to the vertebral body and anterior to the spinal cord
posterior
The superior extension of the anterior longitudinal ligament is the… membrane which attachs to base of occipital bone superiorly at margin of…
