Trunk- Osteology, anthrology and musculature of vertebral column and pelvic girdle Flashcards
what two curvatures are present embryologically and are carried through during birth, thus PRIMARY
Thoracic and Sacral - both are convex posteriorly yielding the curvature of the fetal position
what in the spine develops postnatally as a result of head support and locomotion
secondary curvatures - lumbar and cervical - both convex anteriorly
exaggerated posterior curvature
kyphosis
The loss of turgidity of the nucleus pulposus contributes to
kyphosis
Pathologically, kyphosis is a response to muscular changes following the recovery from _________ infection
Poliomyelitis
exaggerated anterior curvature of the spine
lordosis
abnormal lateral curvature
scoliosis
Large cylindrical mass that increases in size inferiorly through the lumbar region and then decreases in size through the coccygeal region
body of vertebra
Why are the superior and inferior surfaces of bodies of vertebrae marked by a roughened circumference and a smooth center?
the attachement of the annulus fibrosus fibrocartilage of the intervertebral disc and a smooth center of hyaline cartilage corresponding to the position of the nucleus pulposus
what encloses the vertebral foramen
vertebral arch
what is the term for the canal formed by all the vertebral foraminae collectively?
vertebral canal
paired structures that span the distance between the body and the transverse processes
pedicles
what passes through the intervertebral foramen?
spinal nerve
paired structures that span the distance between the transverse process and the spinous process
lamina
Which process of the vertebrae act as leverage by the attachment of the deep back muscles
TP
another word for articular processes
zygapophysis
what type of joints are the facet joints?
synovial planar
why is extension compromised in the cervical region
overlapping spinous processes
why is flexion limited in the lumbar region
massive size of the bodies
pubic symphysis is a __________ joint
fibrocartilaginous
sacroiliac joints are __________ joints
synovial planar
Erector spinae group
Iliocostalis, Longissimus, spinalis
number of cervical thoracic and lumbar vertebrae respectively
7,12,5
also 5 fused sacral and 4 fused as coccyx
Which two muscles in the back do not have the common innervation of the dorsal rami of cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spinal nerves?
Splenius cervicis - Dorsal rami of spinal nerves C4-8
Splenius capitis - C3-C5
Generally, which group of muscles originate on the TP and insert on the SP
Deep (transversospinalis group)
Semispinalis, multifidus, rotatores
Origin of iliocostalis muscles
common broad tendon from post iliac crest
sacrum
sacroiliac ligaments
spinous processes of sacral and inferior lumbar vertebrae
Insertion of iliocostalis muscles
lumborum - inferior border of angle of ribs 12-6
thoracis - all of the ribs
cervicis - ribs 1-6 and posterior tubercles of C4-C6
