postural stabilizers of the atlanto-occipital and atlanto-axial joints

Question 5

Question 7

based on the density of muscle spindles what is the proposed function of the interspinalis

Answer 7

acts as a proprioceptive transducer in conjunction with intertransversarii to coordinate the smooth movement of the spine and to maintain appropriate posture

Answer 9

acts as a proprioceptive transducer in conjunction with interspinalis to coordinate the smooth movement of the spine and to maintain appropriate posture.
