Q

What is the arrow pointing to?

A

Vertebral foramen

The spinal cord goes through here; bones stacked on each other make vertebral canal - foramen means “hole”

Q

What are costal facets?

A

Found on the transverse process (thoracic vertebrae) and used to attach to tubercle of rib

Costal facets only in thoracic; ribs only connect to thoracic spine

Q

What type of vertebrae is the first column of images

A

Cervical vertebrae

Bifid spinous process (split into two); holes in cervical called transverse foramen (none of the other vertebrae have them) where arteries go through

Q

What type of vertebrae is the second column of images

A

Thoracic vertebrae

Has costal facets; looks like a giraffe from a lateral view; has a transverse process and articular processes - superior view you can see three parts sticking out
***Spinous process most inferior

Lumbar vertebrae

Has no bifid process or transverse foramen like cerv., or costal facets like thoracic - superior view you can see five parts sticking out

Q

In the image of C1 how is it different from normal cervical vertebrae?

A

No bifid spinous process; no vertebral body

Lateral mass attaches to occiptal condyle of occiptal bone

Transverse foramen

25
Q

What is the arrow pointing to?

A

Articular Surface for Dens of axis

26
Q

What is the arrow pointing to?

A

Spinous process

27
Q

What is unique about C2?

A

Contains a dens going through C1 and has a weird bifid spinous process

28
Q

What is the arrow pointing to?

A

Inferior articular process

Attaches vertebrae below it

29
Q

What is the arrow pointing to?

A

Vertebral foramen

30
Q

What is the arrow pointing to?

Superior articular facet

31
Q

What is the arrow pointing to?

A

Transverse process

32
Q

What is the arrow pointing to?

A

Vertebral body

Very thin from a superior view

33
Q

What is the arrow pointing to?

A

Transverse foramen

34
Q

What are the arrows pointing to?

A

Spinous process

Weird shape

35
Q

What is the arrow pointing to?

36
Q

What is the arrow pointing to?

A

Transverse process

From a superior view it does not look like it’s pointing out - anterior view you can see it more clearly

37
Q

What is the arrow pointing to?

A

Transverse foramina

38
Q

What is the arrow pointing to?

A

Superior articular facet

39
Q

What is the arrow pointing to?

A

Inferior articular process

40
Q

What is the arrow pointing to?

A

Spinous process

41
Q

What is the arrow pointing to?

A

Vertebral body

42
Q

What is the purpose of the anterior sacral foramen?

A

Nerves that are connected along the spinal cord leave the vertebral canal from here

43
Q

What is the purpose of the superior articular facet on the sacrum?

A

Connects inferior articular process of L5

44
Q

What is the sacral canal?

A

Continuation of the vertebral canal

45
Q

How many pairs of ribs total?

A

12; 7 true, 5 false and 2 of the 5 are floating

46
Q

Which vertebrae column are all ribs attached to?

47
Q

What is the arrow pointing to?

A

Facet for transverse process

Transverse process has this to hold a part of the rib

48

A

Inferior facet of rib an superior demifacet

Attaches rib to the facet of one vertebrae and then to the facet of another vertebrae either above or below

49
Q

What is a demifacet

A

Half a facet; rib attaches to superior and inferior facet

50
Q

In the box the 7th rib is attached to something the arrow is pointing at. What is (are) it (they)?

A

Demifacet; inferior costal facet of T6 and superior costal facet of T7
