atlantoaxial type
synovial
vertebrae have ____ effect
cumulative
arthrokinematic
gliding, cant see movement
intervertebral disk 2 parts
annulus fibrosus
nucleus pulposus
annulus fibrosus
fibrous rings, hold nucleus pulposus in middle
nucleus pulposus
liquid/jelly like substance in the middle
IV disk compressed elastic material allows
compression in all directions with torsion
age, injury or improper use of IV disk
more rigid, shirink, nucleus moves
bulging disk
nucleus pulposus annular rings compromised
upper cervical spine
c1 c2
middle cervical segments
c3-6
cervicothoracic junction

forward head posture puts OA joint in
extension
forward head posture results in
tight and shortened musculature
cervical region, more flexion or extension
the same
