Lesson 6 VERTEBRAL Flashcards
It is composed of a number of unpaired bones in series along the midline
Vertebral column
What is the vertebral formula?
C7 T13 L7 S3 Cd20
Other term for caudal
Coccygeal
What are the three parts of typical vertebrae?
- Body or corpus
- Vertical arch (completes the vertebra foramen dorsally)
- Processes
It is a cylindrical mass, forming the ventral part of the vertebra and floor of the vertebra foramen
Body or corpus
What are the parts of invertebral disk?
Annulus fibrosus (outside)
Nucleus pulposus (inside)
What are the PARTS of the vertebral arch which completes the vertebral foramenn dorsally?
- Pedicle (sa gilid)
- Laminae (upper side)
This process forms joints between adjacent vertebrae region, also form joint with the ribs
Articular process
This type of process project laterally from the arch
Transverse process
This process projects dorsally from the arch of the vertebra
Spinous process
This process projects caudally from the pedicle ventral to the caudal articular process and over the dorsal aspect of foramen.
Accessory process
This process is a knoblike dorsal projection of the transverse processes also the tenth thoracic vertebrae and cranial articular process of the 11th thoracic throughe coudal vertebra
Mamillary process
Is C1/atlas is a atypical vertebrae or typical vertebrae
Atypical vertebrae
Two types of articular surfaces
Cranial articular surface
Caudal articular surfaces
Other term for cranial articular surfaces
Cotyloid cavities
Other term for caudal articular surfaces
Glenoid cavities
It articulates with dens
Fovea of the dens or fovea dentis
What are the two pairs of foramina?
- transverse foramina
- Lateral vertebral foramina
It’s a type of foramina passing obliquely through the wings
Transfers foramina
It’s type of foramina that perforate cranaiodorsal part. Also the passage of vertebral and first cervical spine nerve.
Lateral vertebral foramina
It is a depression, ventral to the wings also vertebral artery and nerve passes
Atlantal fossae
Other term for C2/axis
epistropheus or dentata
It is a typical elongated peg-like eminence, projecting from the body
C2 or axis ( epistropheus or dentata)
It is ventrolateral extensions of vertebral arch and face ventrally
Caudal articular surface
It is at the root of the transfers process
Transfers foramen
It concur with the caudal notches of the atlas
Cranial vertebral notches
