Back and Extremities Non-Clinical Flashcards
vertebrae vs spinal nerves
vert: 7C, 12T, 5L, 5S, 3-4cc
SN: 8C, 12T, 5L, 5S, 1cc
C vs T vs L
C: small, mobile, bifid SP, small TP w/ hole (for vert arts)
T: heart shaped, longer processes, articulate w/ ribs
L: kidney shaped bodies, biggest proocesses

L: kidney shaped bodies, biggest proocesses
atlas weirdness
no vertebral body
no SP
OA joint = skull on C1 (flex/extend - yes)
axis weirdness
dens (stole body from C1)
AA joint = C1 on C2 (rotational - no)
ant long lig (where and resists)
ant surface of vert bodies
resist hyperextension
post long lig (where and resists)
post surface of vert bodies
resist hyperflexion
ligamentum flava
post of vert foramen
interspinous lig
between SPs
conus medullaris
tapered end of spinal cord
ends about level of L2
contains cell bodies of SNs S4, S5 and Co
meninges inf broder
extend down to S2
cauda equina
nerve roots project below conus medullaris
lumbosacral SNs project downm exit via intervertebral foramen
all nerves covered by pia mater
cauda equina
nerve roots project below conus medullaris
lumbosacral SNs project downm exit via intervertebral foramen
all nerves covered by pia mater
SN locations relative to verts
C: exit superior to corresponding (C8 above T1)
T, L: nerves exit inferior to vert
SN - sensory vs motor
all are mixed
only roots are separate
parts of IVDs
anulus fibrosis - ring of fibrocartilage, thicker ant, outside part
nucleus pulposus: more gelatinous, interior, slightly more post
superficial back muscles
trapezius
latissimus dorsi
levator scapulae
rhomboid major/minor
superficial back muscle actions
move upper limb
superficial back muscle innervations
all innervated by ventral rami except traps (accessory nerve - CN XI)
deep back muscles
iliocostalis
longissimus
spinalis
(together called erector spinae)
