Vertebral Colon Flashcards
What makes up the median atlantoaxial joint
Synovial articulation btw the odontoid process of the axis and the anterior arch of the atlas anteriorly and transverse posteriorly
Plane curves for cervical lordosis and throacic kyphosis
20-40 degree
Lumber lordosis degree
30-50 degreev
What serves as a sling to support the spinal cord as it enters the vertebral column
Tectorial membrane
What forms the atlanto occipital joint
Condyles of the occiput
Superior articulating processess of the atlas
Chin tuck involves flexion in what vertebrae and extension in what vertebrae
C1
C2-c7
Chin tuck motion is referred to as
Axial extension or cervical retraction
Extending the head on c1 and flexing the neck in c2-c7 is called
Cervical protraction
Cervical vertebrae is localized where
Antero posterior
Lumber vertebrae is localized where
Saggital plane
L5 to s1 is localized where
Frontal plane
What part of the vertebral colon does flexion and extension
Lateral flexion?
Lumber region
L5-s1
What part of the vertebral colon does rotation and lateral flexion
Thoracic region….. spinous processes and ribs
What parts of the cervical vertebrae does all movements
Spinous and transverse process
Description and function of anterior longitudinal ligament
Prevents excessive hypextension
Thin superiorly and thick inferiorly
