21
Q

Ligament that is anterior to the spinal cord?

24
Q

Interspinous ligament

25
Q

Supraspinous ligament

26
Q

Ligamentum Flavus

27
Q

Atlanta axial joint consists of how many separate articulations?

A

3
1, 2, dens

28
Q

How many joints foes each vertebra have?

A

Each vertebra has four facet joints, one pair that connects to the vertebra above (superior facets) and one pair that connects to the vertebra below (inferior facets) (Fig. 6). Figure 6. The superior and inferior facets connect each vertebra together.

29
Q

superior articular facets of the Atlantas articulate with

A

occipital condyles

30
Q

what covered odontoid process and ligaments?

A

Tectorial memebrane

31
Q

Tectorial memebrane

32
Q

Symphysis what position

33
Q

Nociceceptors

34
Q

Tectorial membrane is a continuation of what structure?

35
Q

Nucleus pulposus

36
Q

What 2 disc anatomy consist of?

A

The disc anatomy consists of two main structures, the nucleus pulposus (NP) and the annulus fibrosus (AF). The nucleus pulposus is composed of water, type II collagen, chondrocyte-like cells, and proteoglycans. This unique composite allows the NP to be elastic, flexible under stress forces and to absorb compression
