Give features of bones in the thoracic
—heart shaped bodies with DEMIFACETZ for articulation with head of corresponding rib and rib below
-short Pericles
-small, circular vertebral canal
-long, downward pointing spinous process
-transvers processes with facet for articulation with tubercle of corresponding rib
-superior and inferior articulate processes
Give features of the lumbar
-large kidney shaped body
-short strong Pericles
-quadranglular spinous process
-triangular vertebral canal
-thin, short transverse process
-articulate processes, superior facing.Medially inferior facing laterally
In the spine, which vertebrae are fused
5 fused sacral vertebrae
3-4 fused coccygeal vertebrae
Where is the posterior longtidtudanal ligament found
Posterior (back), in between vertebral body and the vertebral arch
Where is the anterior longitudinal ligament found
Anterior, along the vertebral body
Where is the ligamenta flava found
Between the laminate of adjacent vertebrae
What connects and passes along the tops of the vertebral spinous processes from vertabra C7 to the sacrum
Supraspinous ligaments
What is the supraspinous ligaments
What connects and passes along the tops of the vertebral spinous processes from vertabra C7 to the sacrum
Where is the interspunious ligament found
Between adjacent vertebral spinous processes
What is the interspuniys ligaments
Ligaments from the base of the apex of each spinous process and blend with the supra spinous ligament posteriorly and the ligamenta flava anteriorly on each side
Where are intertransverse ligaments found
Posteriorly on the transverse processes
Name some superficial muscles of the back
Trapezius, latissimus Dorsi, levator scapulae, rhomboid major and minor
Name some intermediate muscles of the back
Serratus posterior
Give a way to remember how many bones are in the upper spine

Which muscles flex the trunk
-recuts abdominis = upper ab muscle
-external oblique= lateral and anterior parts of the abdomen
-internal oblique = underneath external oblique
-psoas major = originates L1-L4 inserts lesser trochanter of femur
-psoas minor = L1 T12 inserts next to pubic bone
Which muscles extend the trunk
Quadratics lumborum = originates iliac crest and inserts transfers process L1-5
-erector spinae (illocastalis, longissimus, spinalis) ( I LIKE STANDING ) lower thoracic and lumbar to upper thoracic and cervical
