Explain how the anterior longitudinal ligament and posterior longitudinal ligament help to stabilize the spine
The anterior longitudinal ligament is very wide and long and runs down the anterior surface of the vertebral bodies and prevents you from going too far backwards or hyper extending your spine. The posterior longitudinal ligament runs down posterior surface of vertebral body, is inside vertebral canal. Prevents hyper flexion or excessive flexion of vertebral column.
Describe the relationship between joint stability and joint mobility
The more mobility the joint has the less stability the joint has and vice versa.
