Week 2- Lesson 1 Flashcards
Name the 2 components making up the skeleton
Axial and appendicular
Name bones in the axial skeleton
-skull
-laryngeal skeleton
-thoracic skeleton
-vertebral column
Name the bones in the appendicular skeleton
-shoulder girdle
-upper limbs
-pelvic girdle
-Lower likbs
List the different regions of the vertebral column from top to bottom
-cervical vertebra (7)
-thoracic vertebra (12)
—lumbar vertebra (5)
-sacral vertebrae (5)
-coccygeal vertebrae (4)
Name the 8 cranial bones
Frontal, parietal (paired) temporal (paired) occipital , sphenoid, ethmoid
Where is the frontal bone located
Top anterior of the skull
Where is the parietal bone located
At the top, covering the centre region and the back
Where is the temporal bone located
inferior posterior of skull
Where is the occipital bone located
above temporal and below parietal
posterior skull
Where is the ethmoid located
upper nasal cavity and the nasal septum.
Where is the sphenoid located
posterior to the frontal bone but anterior to the occipital
anterior to temporal
what are the functions of the vertebral column
-central pillar
-muscular attachments and anchorage of powerful muscles
-protects the spinal chord
-acts as a shock absorber via IV discs and curvatures
-flexibility- concentrate and transmit force
what are the movements of the vertebral column?
-flexion, extension, lateral flexion and rotation
-the flexion, extension and lateral flexion are extensive in cervical and lumbar spine
What connects the Atlantic occipital joint?
Ligaments- anterior and posterior Atlanto-occipital membrane
What movement does the Atlantic- occipital joint provide?
- flexion, extension, lateral flexion are possible.
-No rotation is possible
-Between C1 and base of skull
What movement does the Atlantic- occipital joint provide?
- flexion, extension, lateral flexion are possible. No rotation is possible
What movement does the Atlanta-axial joint provide?
Rotational movement
Between c1 and c2
What connects Atlanton- axial joints
- ligaments
transverse ligament
Name the plane synovial joints between vertebral bodies
-zygapophseal joints (facet)
-uncovertebral joints
What does rheumatoid arthritis affect mainly?
Synovial joints
Which muscles laterally flex the neck?
- scalene group of muscles
-trapezius
-sternacloidomastoid
What is the central part of the invertebratal disc called?
Nucleuspulposis
Name a primary curvature with anterior con cavity
Thoracic
Name the one feature that is specifically seen in cervical vertebra
Transverseforamen
What is the pathological lateral deviation of the spine
Scoliosis
What muscle when acting bilaterally flexes the neck and when acting alone it rotates the head to the opposite side
Sternocleidomastoid
Which region in the vertebral column has 7 vertebrae
Cervical
What joint is synovial joint between superior articulate process of one vertebra and the inferior articulate process of the vertebrae directly above it
Facet
What is the boney bit that projects from the vertebral body posterior ly called?
Pedicle
what are the 2 sections of the vertebrae called
-vertabral arch (boney bit)
vertabral body (curved inside)
