Joints of Axial Skeleton Flashcards
(30 cards)
List the types of vertebrae and how many of each there are
7 cervical
12 thoracic
5 lumbar
5 sacral
4 coccygeal
Where is the intervertebral joint
between superior and inferior articulating processes of vertebral
Where is the anterior longitudinal ligament located
centrum of CV2 to centrum of SV5
where is the posterior longitudinal ligament located
centrum of CV2 to centrum of SV5
where is the intertransverse ligament
transverse process to transverse process from CV2 to SV1
where is the ligament flavum
joins lamina of adjacent vertebrae from CV2 to SV1
where is the interspinous ligament
joins spinous process to spinous process from CV7 to SV1 (middle of spinous process)
Where is the supraspinous ligament
single ligament joining tips of spinous process from CV7 to SV4
where is the intervertebral joint
between superior and inferior facets of adjacent vertebae
Where is the lumbosacral joint
LV5 and SV1
Where is the intercornual ligament
links cornu of sacrum and cornu of coccyx
Where is the iliolumbar ligamen
LV5 and ilium of coxial bone
Where are the costovertebral joints
between head of rib and demifacets on centrum of Thoracic vertebrae
Where are the costotransverse joints
between rib and transverse process of thoracic vertebrae
Where is the uncovertebral joint
between uncinate process of cervicle vertebral and vertebral discs
where is the median atlantoaxial joint
median articular facet of CV1 and CV2
Where is the atlantooccipital joint
the superior articular facet of CV1 and the occipital condyles of occiput
where are the lateral atlantoaxial joints
between CV1 and CV2
Where is the nuchal ligament
fusion of supraspinous and interspinous ligaments from spinous process of CV7 to the median nuchal crest
What are the three atlantoaxial ligaments
Posterior- replaces ligamentum flava
Lateral replaces the intertransverse
Anterior replaces the anterior longitudinal ligament
Where are the atlantooccipital ligaments
circle around the atlas linking it to occiput
where is the transverse atlantial ligament
between dens and atlas
where is the apical ligament
links tip of dens to occiput
where is the alar ligament
link sides of tip of dens to the occiput
