cartilaginous (amphiarthrosis) symphisis

17
Q

How many joint surfaces are present on the upper surface of a typical cervical vertebral body

A

5

18
Q

how many joint surfaces are present on the vertebral body of a typical cervical

A

10

19
Q

What is the name given to the uncinate process-lateral groove articulation

A

joint of luschka or uncovertebral joint

20
Q

the joint of luschka is formed by what two surfaces

A

uncinate process and lateral groove

21
Q

What is the functional significance of the joint of luschka

A

it appears to stabilize the intervertebral disc while accommodating flexion-extention and requiring coupled motion (axial rotation and lateral bending) in the cervical spine

22
Q

What muscle attaches to the typical cervical vertebral body

A

longus colli muscle

23
Q

What is the orientation and angulation of the pedicle of a typical cervical

A

posterolateral, 45 degrees

24
Q

at what location on the vertebral body of a typical cervical will the pedicle attach

A

to the side and in the center of the vertebral body

25
Q

What surface feature is located at the upper margin of the pedicle

A

superior vertebral notch

26
Q

What ligament attaches to the lamina of a typical cervical

A

ligamentum flavum

27
Q

What joint classification will be associated with the ligamentum flavum and its attachment

A

fibrous (amphiarthrosis) syndesmosis

28
Q

Ossification of the ligamentum flavum at the attachment site on the lamina will result in what feature

A

para articular process

29
Q

What is the outline of the vertebral foramen of a typical cervical vertebral foramen

A

heart shaped or triangular

30
Q

Which is the greatest diameter of the vertebral foramen of a typical cervical foramen

A

transverse

31
Q

What soft tissue diameter mimics the outline of the typical cervical vertebral foramen

A

the transverse diameter of the cervical enlargement of the spinal cord

32
Q

the greatest transverse diameter of the typical cervical vertebra occurs at what level

A

C6

33
Q

the greatest frequency of osteophytes associated with the vertebral body occurs at which typical cervical vertebral couple

A

C5/C6
