Q

What does the vertebral column do?

A

Protection of spinal cord (surrounded by bone)

Support of body weight (stability)

BUT also allows for some flexibility via articulations

Q

What is Neurulation? (Basic definition)

A

Essentially, neurulation is the process of forming the neural tube (that will form the brain and spinal cord).

Q

Explain what in the damn heck is going on here. (its a pretty solid answer)

A

Alright so this process is known as Neurulation and it is the formation of the neural tube. This will be organised by the notochord which will induce the ectoderm to thicken causing formation of the neural plate (neuroectoderm). This rapid growth causes buckling of the neuroectoderm creating the neural groove. This groove will deepen (within the boundaries of the neural fold) to form the neural tube. The neural tube will detach from the ectoderm (that will reseal itself) and will the tube will situate itself dorsal to the notohord and medial to the paraxial mesoderm.

Q

The notochord helps to induce cells of the somite to become regionalised. What are the 4 main regions and what will they become?

A

Sclerotome:

  • Axial skeleton + cartilage (Vertebra, Ribcage + sternum)

Syndetome:

  • Ligaments and tendons

Myotome:

  • Muscles of the back and the body wall

Dermatome:

  • Dermis of the skin

24
Q

Which group of vertebrae is this from. Which view is it from?

A

Cervical vertebrae (C3)

Superior

25
Which group of vertebrae is this from. Which view is it from?
Thoracic (T3) Superior
26
Which group of vertebrae is this from. Which view is it from?
Thoracic (T11) Superior
27
Which group of vertebrae is this from. Which view is it from?
Lumbar (L3) Superior
28
Name the destined fate of the costal element of a developing vertebra for the thoracic region?
Ribs
29
Name the destined fate of the transverse element of a developing vertebra for the thoracic region?
The transverse process
30
State the type of curvature present (primary or secondary) in the following: Cervical Thoracic Lumbar Sacral
Cervical: Secondary Thoracic: Primary Lumbar: Secondary Sacral: Primary
31
What is the other name for primary curves? which way do they concave? and what regions are classified as having primary curves?
Kyphosis curves Concave anteriorly In thoracic and Sacral regions
32
What is the other name for secondary curves? which way do they concave? and what regions are classified as having secondary curves?
Lordosis curves Concave posteriorly In Cervical and Lumbar regions
33
What movements are permitted in the cervical region, and what are the anatomical feature/s that restrict other movements?
Flexion and extension. However between C1 and C2 rotation is possible. Rotation is not possible for C3 to C6 because of the uncinate processes which restrict the rotational cervical movement.
34
Name 3 differences between a typical cervical vertebrae and C7?
1. C7 has small transverse foramina 2. Spinous process is not bifid like the other cervical vertebrae 3. No anterior or posterior transverse tubercles (instead just a single transverse process
