Step 1 Flashcards
nucleus pop & annulus origin?
mesoderm, pop notochord
axis bone fxn?
ring that rotates
Atlas bone fxn?
its the tooth/ den that nods
How compress vertebral artery?
4 parts. the osteoartheritis osteophytes of transverse foramen cervical veterbrate
Herination nuc polpous? spinal segements are usually?
posterior-lateral direction, compress spinal nerves (dorsa or vent rami) below intervetebral foramen**Spinal segments greater vertebrate number.
zygapophyseal joint disease or vertebral body displacement or pedicle erosion
Spinal nerve compression
pedicles-
intervetebral foramin (sides) exit spinal nerves
spinal tap
btw L4 -L5 locate by crest, tap to subarachniod, collect CSF, inter lamina space (btwn spinous and transverse) in back
scotty dog-
break dogs neck(laminae) , spinous process face, body lamina, ears and legs supra/infraarticula, tail transverse process
dorsal rami-
nn erector spine, true back muscles, back skin only
motor neuron vs ANS
1 pathway vs 2 pathway (glands, smc/ involuntary)
white communicon
myelin of Symp (pre ganglion axon) takes it to the sump trunk, exists only in T2-L2 only
gray communion exit
exit w less myelin (post ganglion axon)
symp -ganglion
Cervical (sup, middle, inf (stellate fusion cervical-thoracic)) , preaortic (prevertebral) greater/lesser/ lumbar splanhic, pelvic splanhinc- pelvic organs
Caudal nerve block?
@ S2 epidural bc S2 no subarachniod sapce
