Quiz 1: Lecture 1-3 Flashcards
What structure is located immediately posterior to the vertebral body in a typical vertebrae?
1.) Lamina
2.) Pedicle
3.) Transverse process
4.) Superior articular process
5.) Inferior articular process
Pedicle
Which structure passes through the transverse foramina of the cervical vertebrae?
1.) Spinal Cord
2.) Spinal Nerve
3.) Vertebral Artery
4.) Subclavian Artery
5.) Intertransverse Ligament
Vertebral Artery
All of the following are plane joints except…?
1.) Costovertebral
2.) Costotransverse
3.) Interchondral
4.) Costochondral
Costochondral
The anterior intercostal arteries arise from the…?
1.) Thoracic aorta
2.) Internal thoracic artery
3.) Subclavian artery
4.) Spinal artery
Internal thoracic artery
Flexion/Extension move in the sagittal plane around a _______/________ axis
Medial/Lateral
Abduction/Adduction moves in the frontal plane around a ___________/_________ axis
Anterior/Posterior
Internal/External rotation moves in the transverse plane around a _______________ axis
Longitudinal
Circumduction is a combination of
Flexion, extension, abduction, adduction
Place joint types in order of most motion to least motion
-fibrous
-synovial
-Cartilaginous
Synovial (ex: shoulder), Cartilaginous (ex: ribs), Fibrous (fused bones of the pelvis)
What is the purpose of synovial fluid?
Act as a joint lubricant, nourish cartilage
List the 6 types of synovial joints
Plane (gliding), hinge, pivot, condyloid, saddle, ball and socket
The elbow, ankle, and knee are examples of what type of joint?
Hinge joint
List an example of a pivot joint
Atlas rotating on the dens (part of bone that sticks up on the axis
Atlas: C1
Axis: C2
What are condyloid joints?
A joint that allows movement around two axes (abduction/adduction and flexion/extension)
Ex: wrist joint
Ribs 8-10 are _________ ribs, ribs 11-12 are ____________ ribs, ribs 1-7 are _________ ribs
False, floating, true
What does the typical thoracic vertebrae look like?
- 12 total
- Heart shaped body
- medium sized body
Differentiate between external and internal intercostal muscle fiber orientation
External: superior/lateral to inferior/medial (like putting your hands into pockets) (MOVES RIBS SUPERIORLY WHILE INHALING)
Internal: superior/medial to inferior/lateral (MOVES RIBS INFERIORLY WHILE EXHALING)
Which nerve(s) innervate the intercostal muscles?
Intercostal nerves
Which muscle is attached to the posterior portion of the rib cage and what is its function?
Transversus thoracis, depress ribs
What are the names of the anterior and posterior intercostal arteries?
Anterior: internal thoracic artery, musculophrenic
Posterior: thoracic aorta
Where is the linea alba?
Midline of abdomen (thin strand of connective tissue that bisects right and left parts of abdomen)
What does the external oblique do, and where does it insert?
- Contralateral rotation
- Ipsilateral side bend
- trunk flexion
- linea alba and lateral lip of iliac crest
What does the internal oblique do and where does it insert?
- Ipsilateral rotation
- Ipsilateral side bend
- Trunk flexion
- Inserts in the Linea alba, pubic crest, lower 3-4 ribs
When refering to the transverse abdominis (TA), what does the muscle fiber orientation look like and where does it originate/insert?
- Transverse muscle fibers
Originates: lower 6 ribs
Inserts: linea alba, pubic crest
How many vertebrae are in the spine? What does the distribution look like?
33 total
- 7 cervical
- 12 thoracic
- 5 lumbar
- 5 sacral (fused together in adults)
- 4 coccygeal (fused together in adults)
What is the main opening between a typical vertebrae called?
Vertebral foramen
(Note: foramen means “a small opening”)
Describe the lamina
The connection between the spinous processes and transverse processes (posterior to body, and resembles the pedicle in terms of shape and function)
What is another word for “joint”
Articulation
What main structure runs through the vertebral foramen (main opening between vertebrae)?
Spinal cord
In which direction do the spinous processes face?
Posterior and inferior
What are processes (transverse and spinous) used for?
Attachment sites for muscles and ligaments
