Q

What joint classifications are identified at the vertebral body of T1?

A

fibrous (amphiarthrosis) syndesmosis, cartilaginous (amphiarthrosis) symphysis, and synovial plane (diarthrosis arthrodia joint)

the modified synovial saddle (diarthrosis sellar) is only observed as an anatomical variation

Which spinal nerve - vertebral notch/incisure combination is present at T1?

A

C8 spinal nerve - the superior vertebral notch/incisure of T1
T1 spinal nerve - the inferior vertebral notch/incisure of T1

5

What ligaments support the costotransverse joint of T1?

A

the inferior costotransverse and lateral costotransverse ligaments

6
Q

What ligament is absent at the costotransverse joint of T1?

A

the superior costotransverse ligament

Q

What muscles attach to the transverse process of T1?

A

longissimus thoracics, longissimus cervicis, longissimus capitis, semispinalis cervicis, semispinalis capitis, multifidis, rotator longus, rotator brevis, intertransversarii, levator costarum brevis

8
Q

the undersurface of the T1 spinous process will be nearly horizontal from the horizontal plane

12
Q

What is the gender bias associated with T1 as the vertebral prominence?
