Question

intervertebral foramen

Answer 1

adjacent arches formed from stacked vertebrae (also known as the neural foramen) root spinal nerves dorsal root ganglion

Answer 2

encloses the spinal canal | protects the spinal cord

Answer 3

small rectangular body for low weight bearing demand transverse foramina for passage of vertebrsl artery large vertebral foramen for passage of many spinal nerves bifid spinous process associated uncovertebral joint (van lushka artictular facets horizontal

Answer 4

anterior convexity supports the skull C1 C2 C7 atypical

Answer 5

``` round body long slanted spinous process transverse process with demi-facet coastal facets joint articular facet are more in a vertical plane- down and foreward ```

Answer 6

``` anterior concavity articulates with the ribs T1 T9-12 atypical T3 in line with the spine of the scapula T7 level with inferior angle ```

Answer 7

``` large wide body broad short laminae and pedicles quadrangular spinous process mamillary process vertical facets facing medially and don transverse process thin and long ```

Answer 8

supports body weight L4 in line with iliac crest anterior convexity

Answer 9

5 fused vertebrae articulates with L5 concave anteriorly spinous tubercle

Answer 10

small triangular 3/4 fused vertebrae directed down and ventrally

Answer 11

``` C2 - prominent spinous process C6 disappears on cervical extension C7 –Vertebra Prominens T3 - spine of scapula T7 – level with inferior angle of scapula L4 - iliac crest S2 – level of PSIS ```

Answer 12

``` fibrocartilaginous disc shock absorption allows movement and load transition stability to the spinal column limit excessive movements ``` with annulus fibrosus and nucleus pulposus

Answer 13

``` ring of fibres composed of 60-70% water collagen lamellae thicker centrally, anteriorly and laterally thinner posteriorly stiff structure resist buckling ```

Answer 14

semi-fluid mass od mucoid material 88% water deformed under pressure from any direction transmit

Answer 15

anterior aspects of vertebral bodies and intervertebral disc fibres bind to fibrocartilage disc, hyaline end plate and margins of vertebrae limits extension of the vertebral column reinforces the intervertebral disc

Answer 16

anterior wall of the vertebral canal from body of the axis to posterior sacrum firmly anchored to the annulus fibrous, cartilage of hyaline end plate and the margins of the vertebrae limits flexion of the vertebral column reinforces the intervertebral disc

Answer 17

joins laminae of 2 consecutive vertebrae short but thick anterior surface of superioe lamina to posterior surface of inferior lamina 80% elastin 20% collagen preserve upright posture

Answer 18

connecting the spinous process from root to apex anteriorly blends to ligamentum flavum posteriorly blends ti supraspinous limits flexion

Answer 19

apex of the spinous process from C7 to the sacrum extention of ligamentum nuchae anterior fibres connect with interspinous limits flexion (reflex arc of multifidus)

Answer 20

thin ligament between the transverse process | limits lateral flexion
