Study Of The Axial Musculoskeletal System Flashcards
Axial skeleton
c7, t13, L7, s3, Cd20; skull mandible, vertebral column, ribs, os penis, sternum
appendicular skeleton
thoracic limb, pelvic lim; bones that support the appendages
thoracic limb
scapula/ calvical, brachium (humerus, forelimb femur pelvic limb)/ ante brachium, manus (forelimb)
pelvic limb
ossa coxarum, thigh/ crus, pes (pelvic limb)
supporting skeleton
girdle, supporting column formed by brachium, extremity
laminectomy
remove lamina of vertebrae to access spinal cord
formation of vertebral canal
formed by lining up of vertebral foramina
spinal cord lies
within vertebral canal surrounded by connective tissue coverings (meninges)
vertebrae separate by
intervertebral discs
intervertebral foramina
where pedicles meet body creates a notch; formed by caudal notch proximal vertebrae and cranial notch of distal vertebrae; space where spinal nerves leave vertebral canal and vessels come in and out (nerves were there bones grew around them)
mammillary process
muscle attachment sites; Doral cranial projection of transverse process (T2-T10) or cranial articular process (T11-Cd)
accessory process
dorsal caudal projection from projection from pedicles (T5 caudal), project caudally over intervertebral foramen; can press on nerve if not aligned properly
cervical vertebrea
C3-C7; short spines, prominent ventral crest on vertebral body; transverse process are two-pronged; transverse foramina in c1-c6 course of vertebral artery and nerve; articular facets article in dorsal/ ventral plane;
cervical vertebrae landmark
C6 has prominent ventral lamina of transverse process can use as an imagine landmark
articulations of C3-C7
horizontal articulations; tiny synovial joints
atlas
C1; transverse processes are very large “wings”; lack spinous process; vertebral artery runs through hole in this vertebrae; large surface are lots of muscle attachments to transverse process; alanto-occipital joint; lateral vertebral forament
alanto-occipital jont
cranial articular fovea articulate with occiput at this jt
lateral vertebral forament
for passage of C1 & vertebral artery
