What is the axis (C2)?

Dens a projection which acts as a pivot for the rotation of the atlas and the skull

What kind of cartilage are the vertebral bodies separated by intervertebral discs made with?

Fibrocartilage

What do ligaments prevent?

Hyperextension (HEAD BACK) and Hyperflexion (SITUP)

What is important about the space between ribs? (Intercostal space structures)

In between ribs we have space, for muscles and neurovascular structures!

Vertebraes are connected by what? How many bones make up the vertebral column?

Intervertebral discs, 26 bones!

Describe the vertebral column What does it protect?

It is a flexible column that supports the head, neck, and body and allows for their movements. It also protects the spinal cord, which passes down the back through openings in the vertebrae.

What is the inguinal ligament and what does it do?

It is a thick, under-turned inferior margin of the external oblique aponeurosis.

Lordosis?

Lordosis is an excessive curvature in the lumbar region of the vertebral column. Ex) Excessive weight in abdomen can cause it like pregnancy!!!

How are lumbar vertebrae characterized by?

Lumbar vertebrae are characterized by having a large, thick body and a short, rounded spinous process.

Describe internal oblique

Middle lateral muscle, (right angle to external oblique) thumb

The superior and inferior articular facets and processes do what?

Play a role in flexion and extension

The bony frame around the chest does what?

Protects heart, lungs, trachea, esophagus and other thoracic organs

The thoracic cage provides what?

Provides scaffolding for things to attach to!

Scoliosis? LMAO YOU

Scoliosis is an abnormal lateral bending of the vertebral column.

What can sensory distribution be important for?

Seeing what part of the spine is injured! For example, T10 innervates around the belly button, if it is hurting in that area then you know it might be injured!

What is the spinous process? What does it do?

Spinous process is a bony projection off the posterior (back) of each vertebra. -provides the point of attachment for muscles and ligaments of the spine.

Describe external oblique

Superficial lateral muscle (pockets, fingers going in)

Where does the majority of the motion "No" occur?

The Axis (C2)

The rib number is named after the articulation with the transverse process. Give an example

The T6 transverse process articulates with rib 6

Where does the majority of motion "Yes" occur?

The atlas (C1)

What is the body of the vertebrae?

The body is the anterior portion of each vertebra and is the part that supports the body weight.

Atlas (C1) is where the majority of motion happens. What articulates with the occipital bone?

The deep superior articular facets that articulate with the occipital condyles of the occipital bone

Kyphosis?

The excessive curvature of the upper thoracic vertebral column is called kyphosis

The vertebral foremen contains what?

The spinal cord

The intervertebral foramen is where what exits?

The spinal nerves

What is the transverse processes? What do the muscles do ?

The transverse processes serve as muscle attachment sites and are used as lever arms by spinal muscles. The muscles that attach to the transverse processes maintain posture and induce rotation and lateral flexion of single vertebrae and the spine as a whole.

They serve to resist excess forward or backward bending movements of the vertebral column, respectively.

True or false. All abdominal muscles are innervated by thoracic and lumbar spinal nerves

True

What does a typical vertebrae consist of?

a body, a vertebral arch, and seven processes.

Describe rectus abdominis

anterior muscle connecting sternum to public bone (6-pack)

Why is C2 called the axis? -What does the axis have projecting upward? -What do these articulate with?

because it serves as the axis for rotation when turning the head toward the right or left. =The axis (C2 vertebra) has the upward projecting dens, -which articulates with the anterior arch of the atlas.

Why is C1 called the atlas? -Does the atlas have a body or spinous process? -If not, what does it consist of instead?

because this vertebra supports the skull on top of the vertebral column -no, it does not have a body or spinous process. -It consists of an anterior and a posterior arch and elongated transverse processes.

Thoracic vertebrae or distinguished by what? What does it have for rib attachment?

by the spinous process, which is long and projects downward to overlap the next inferior vertebra. It also has articulation sites (facets) on the vertebral body and a transverse process for rib attachment.

Describe transverse abdominis

deep lateral muscle (directed horizontally)

Describe the nucleus pulposus. What does it help with?

the nucleus pulposus, consisting of a softer, more gel-like material. It has a high water content that serves to resist compression and thus is important for weight-bearing The gel-like nature of the nucleus pulposus also allows the intervertebral disc to change shape as one vertebra rocks side to side or forward and back in relation to its neighbors during movements of the vertebral column.

Articular processes vary in different regions of the vertebral column and serve to determine what?

the types of motions available in each vertebral region.

Classify the ribs

true ribs (1-7) attach to sternum false ribs (8-12). dont floating ribs (11-12).
