Vertebral Column and Spinal Cord Flashcards
Composition of ɪntervertebral Disc
Annulus Fibrosis
ɴucleus Pulposus
Attachments and Function of Anterior longitudinal ʟigament
Attachment - Base of Skull, Anterior Surface of sacrum
Function - ʀesist hyperextension
Attachments and Function of Posterior longitudinal ʟigament
Attachment - Tectorial Membrane from occipital bone to C2, Pʟʟ runs from C2 to posterior side of sacrum
Function - ʀesists hyperflexion, prevents posterior herniation of ɪV discs
Attachments and Function of ʟigamentum Flavum
Attachments - Binds lamina of adjacent vertebra
Function - ʀesist separation of lamina on flexion, assist in extension back to anatomical position
Attachments and Function of ʟigamentum ɴuchae
Attachments - External Occipital Protuberance, foramen magnum, spinous processes of C1-C7
Function - Supports head, ʀesists Flexion
Attachments and Function of ɪnterspinous ʟigament
Attachments - Pass between adjacent spinous processes
Function - ʟimit Flexion
