Determining IVFs of cervical

40
Q

What is coupling motion

A

2 or more motions occurring at the same time

41
Q

What occurs to SP and vertebral bodies when c spine is laterally flexed

A

SP will move to opposite side (contralateral and side of convexity) and bodies will move to same side as head moving (ipsilateral, concavity)

42
Q

A

The sulcus arteries vertebrialis and into the spinal canal

49
Q

What happens after vertebral artery goes into the spinal canal

A

Unites with the other vertebral artery on opposite side and forms the basilar artery

50
Q

How is the vertebral artery “fixed to adjacent structures” by means of

C2 to C1, moves laterally 45 degrees and passes through C1 TVP then turns medially and goes through the sulcus arterii vertebrialis. Ponticulus posticus

56
Q

Part four of the vertebral artery

A

Goes through posterior Atlanto-occipital ligament into spinal canal then joins up with fellow on opposite side to form basilar artery
