Typical Vetebra Flashcards
2 major parts of vertebra and its contents
Anterior - vertebral body (wt bearing)
Posterior - vertebral/neural arch
Neural arch consists of
Pedicles + posterior elements
IV disc inc in size from … to
Cervical to lumbar
T/F
Size of iv disc is related to amount of motion allowed
True
T/F
Size of Iv disc is related to magnitude of load transmitted to the region
True
The greater the ratio of disc thickness and height of vertebral body ..the greater the
Mobility
Give the 6 motions between 2 adjacent vertebraes
Side to side translation gliding+tilting
Superior and inferior gliding+tilting
Anterior and posterior gliding +tilting
Occurs in frontal plane along a coronal axis
Side to side translation gliding
Aka axial distraction or compression
Takes place in transverse plane along a vertical axis
Superior inferior translation gliding
Occurs in sagittal plane along anterior posterior axis
Anrior posterior translation gliding
Occurs in frontal plane in anterior posterior axis
Side to side translation tilting
Transverse plane around a vertical axis
Rotation at the transverse plane
Occurs in the sagittal plane around a frontal axis
Anterior posterior translation tilting
