Where are the intervertebral discs?
in between the vertebrae bodies
Function of Cervical Region
to help support head
to bring blood supply to head
Function of Thoracic region
Articulate with ribs
Function of Lumbar Region
Allows upright posture
Function of Sacral Region
Composes Pelvic Girdle
Function of Coccyx
helps secure spinal cord
Structure of Typical Cervical Vertebrae
- Spinous Process is Bifid (spilt into two)
- Triangular Vertebral Foramen
- Transverse Foramen
Structure/function of C1
Atlas
Articulates with skull
Has no body
Structure of C2
has Dens
points superiorly
Typical Structure of Thoracic Veterbrae
- Circular Vert. Foramen
- Costal Faucts (where the ribs articulate)
- Long pointy inferior spinous process (looks like a giraffe)
Typical Structure of Lumbar Vertebrae
-Large Body
- Triangular Foramen
- spinous Process is short hatchet like (looks like a moose)
Where are the connections of the Vertebral Column
- Vertebral Body
- Superior articular fact of the inferior Vertebrae
- Inferior Articular fact of the superior Vertebrae
Spinal Cord
Begins at foramen magnum
Travels through vertebral Foramen
Ends at either L1 or L2
Bundle of nerves
2 way passage
Meninges
Protects Spinal Cord
Curvatures of Vertebral Column
Scoliosis: Lateral Curvature
Kyphosis: Exaggerated Curve in the Thoracic Region
Lordosis: Lumbar and Cervical Exaggerated
