Study These Flashcards
A

5 fused sacral vertebrae

21
Q

How many vertebrae does the coccyx consist of?

Study These Flashcards
A

4 fused coccygeal vertebrae

22
Q
Study These Flashcards
A
  1. Anterior atlantooccipital membrane
  2. Atlantooccipital joint capsule
  3. Lateral atlantoaxial joint (capsule removed)
  4. Anterior longitudinal ligament
  5. Lateral atlantoaxial joint capsule
23
Q
Study These Flashcards
A
  1. Posterior atlantooccipital membrane
  2. Ligamenta flava
  3. Ligamentum nuchae
  4. Zygapophyseal joints
24
Q

What are the 4 joints of cervical spine?

Study These Flashcards
A
  1. the atlantooccipital joint (C1 and occipital bone)
  2. the atlantoaxial joint (C1 and C2)
  3. the zygapophyseal joints (facet joints)
  4. the intervertebral joints.
25
Describe the atlantooccipital joint
- C1 and occipital bone | - an ellipsoid joint;
26
Describe the atlantoaxial joint
- C1 and C2 | - a plane and pivot joint
27
1. Posterior longitudinal ligament 2. Tectorial membrane 3. Atlantooccipital joint capsule 4. Lateral atlantoaxial joint capsule 5. Zygapophyseal joint capsule (C2-3)
28
6. Alar ligaments 7. Superior longitudinal band 8. Transverse ligament of the atlas 9. Inferior longitudinal band 10. Cruciate ligament ( The atlantoaxial joint (C1-2) is primarily a joint of rotation. The apical, alar, and cruciate ligaments provide stability to the joint. Of these, the transverse ligament of the atlas is biomechanically the strongest.)
29
1. Anterior longitudinal ligament 2. Intervertebral discs 3. Supraspinous ligament 4. Interspinous ligament
30
5. Posterior longitudinal ligament 6. Ligamentum flavum 7. Iliolumbar ligament 8. Dorsal sacroiliac ligament 9. Sacrospinous ligament 10. Sacrotuberous ligament
31
Course of the anterior (1) and posterior (5) longitudinal ligaments
They run along the anterior and posterior vertebral bodies the entire length of the spinal column and prevent excessive extension (anterior) and flexion (posterior) of the spine.
32
Course of the supraspinous (3) and interspinous (4) ligaments
The supraspinous and interspinous ligaments run between each pair of spinous processes
33
Course of the ligamentum flavum
It runs between the laminae.
