Q

What is the Y axis rotation rang of occipital and atlas

A

4-8 degrees each side

19
Q

What is the Z axis rotation in the occiput-atlas junction in degrees

A

4-11 degrees ( induced in cadavers)

20
Q

Lateral flexion in the Z axis of occiput-atlas has…..

A

Not been demonstrated under physiological conditions

21
Q

What ligament limits the Z axis rotation of occiput-atlas

A

Alar ligament limits Z axis motion

22
Q

If Z axis rotation does occur in the occiput-atlas what is associated with it?

A

Coupled rotation in the opposite direction, this leads to rotation of the chin away from the side of lateral flexion

23
Q

Z axis rotation of occiput-atlas is not ________________ because occipital is ____________.

A

Physiological, unseated

24
Q

The inferior articular processes of atlas are what shape

A

Flat or slightly concave, face slightly medial

25
The atlas-axis junction configuration of the cartilage creates a
Biconvex articulation
26
The biconvexity of the atlas-axis results in how many degrees of combine X axis rotation
20 degrees
27
What is IAR?
The instant axis of rotation of atlas around the dens
28
Increasing the curvature of the dense ________ the amount of x axis rotation
Increases
29
The role of C2 allows lots of ______ axis rotation
Y
30
How many degrees of y axis rotation occurs at C1-C2
43 degrees plus or minus 5.5 degrees
31
What ligament restrains y axis rotation at C1-C2 joint
Alar ligament
32
Where does 50% of rotation of the neck occur
C1-C2
33
What is the job of intra-articular meniscoids
Serve to keep a film of synovial fluid applied to those surfaces of the articular cartilages that are not in contact with one another
34
What type of movement displaces the intra-articular meniscoids
Y axis rotation
35
Rotation around the y axis for C1-C2 is coupled with what movement
Y translation
36
Rotation around z axis is limited to
5 degrees
37
Why is lateral bending limited in the C1-C2 junction
Alar ligaments and the bony anatomy
38
Is there true translation around the x axis of C1-C2
No, there is only "apparent" translation
39
As the head is laterally flexed the _______________ articular process takes on a _________ load.
Ipsilateral, greater
40
When the head is laterally flexed C2 inferior articular surface slopes __________
Inferiorly
41
When the head is laterally flexed the spinous of C2 rotates ___________
Towards the side of Convexity, aka rotates to the opposite side
42
Look at diagram on slide 59,60,61
Codee likes to fuck guys HARD
43
During lateral bending the spinous rotates to the ______
Contralateral side aka opposite side
44
Where does more translation around the X axis occur in the cervical spine
In the upper cervical spine
