T12, L1
what is the name given to ligaments that attach the vertebral body to articular process
transforaminal ligaments
what ligaments attach the vertebral body to the transverse process
corporotransverse ligaments
what corpotransverse ligaments are identified
superior corporotransverse and inferior corporotransverse ligaments
what ae the types of hofmann ligaments
anterior, posterior, lateral hoffman ligmanets and proximal root sleeve ligaments
Hofmann ligaments are identified in which regions along the vertebral colum
cervical-upperthroacic region and lumbar region
cervical-upper thoracic hofmann ligaments will attach what structures together
dura mater to segments above
what is the highes level known to demonstrate hofmann ligaments
C6
what is the proposed function of the cervical-upper thoracic hofmann ligaments
resist caudal movement of the dural sac
resist gravitational forces on the dura and cord
Lumbar Hofmann ligaments will attach what structures together
dura mater to lower segmental levels
what is the proposed function of the lumbar hofmann ligaments
resist cranial movement of the dural sac during flexion
what is the proposed function of the proximal root sleeve ligament
resist displacement of the peripheral nerve system in the intrvertebral foramen
what is the orientation of the pedicle of a typical lumbar
posterior
the pedicle attaches at what location on vertebral body of a typical lumbar
to the upper third or half of the vertebral body
what ligament attaches to the lamina of a typical lumbar
ligamentum flavum
what joint classification will be associated with the ligamentum flacum attachment
fibrous (amphiarthrosis) syndesmosis joint
what osseous conditions of lumbar vertebrae facilitate a spinal tap in this region
overlap of the laminae, shingling, diminishes; overlap of spinous processes, imbrication, diminishes
what is the outline of the certebral foramen of a typical lumbar vertebra
triangular
which is the greatest diameter of the vertebral foramen of typical lumbars
transverse
how does the size of the vertebral foramen differ along the spine
cervicals have the greatest size, lumbars next, thoracics are smallest.
What part of the central nerve system is present in the lumbar spine
The conus medullaris is typically present at the vertebral foramen of L1
What part of the peripheral nerve system is present in the lumbar spine
The cauda equina is typically present in the vertebral foramina of L2-4
Beginning with the L1 transverse process, what is the generic direction and relative length of each succeeding lumbar transverse process
Each transverse process is directed straight lateral and increases in length from L1-3. L4 begins to decrease in length
What is the name of the elevation near the origin of the lumbar transverse process
Accessory process
A styloid process occurs with what frequency and as a result of what condition
7% occurrence as a result of congenital elongation of the lumbar accessory process
What ligaments will attach to the lumbar accessory process
Mammillo-accessory ligament
What parts of a vertebra are attached via the mammillo-accessory ligament
The mammillary process and accessory process of the same segment
What was believed to be entrapped by the mammillo-accessory ligament
The medial branch of the dorsal ramus of a lumbar spinal nerve
What muscles attach tithe lumbar accessory process
Longissimus thoracis and intertransversarii
What muscles may attach to the transverse process of a typical lumbar vertebrae
Psoas major, quadratus lumborum, longissimus thoracis, rotator brevis, rotator long is and intertransversarii
