What are the Facial Bones?   Zygomatic- Cheek Bone Palatine - Roof of Mouth Maxilla - Upper Jaw Mandible - Lower Jaw Hyoid - Bone in throat Ehtmoid - Bone on each side of nose  
🗑
Landmark of Zygomatic Bone?   Zygomatic Arch  
🗑
What are the landmarks of the Mandible?   Mandibular Angle Mandibular Condyle (helps form TMJ)  
🗑

🗑
What movement occurs at C-1   Up and Down Movement  
🗑
Where does C-1 attach and what joint forms there?   Attatches to Occipital Condyles forms the Occipital-Atlantal joint (OA Joint)  
🗑
What is the name for the second Cervical Vertebra?   C-2 Or Axis  
🗑
What joint is made up at the articulation of C-1 and C-2?   Axial Atlantal Joint (AA Joint)  
🗑
What movement does the AA joint provide?   Rotation and Side to Side Movement  
🗑
What makes up the medial and lateral sacral crest?   Middle Processes and a set of process on each side of the sacrum  
🗑
What is the Main section of a vertebra?   Vertebral body  
🗑
What is the large hole in the center of a vertebra and what passes through it?   Intervertebral or Neural Foramen the Spinal Cord passes through it  
🗑
What are the two small holes on each side of each vertebra and what passes through it?   Intervertebral Foramen nerves branching off spinal cord run through them  
🗑
What provides attachment for the transverse processes?   The Pedicle  
🗑
What is the smooth surface that provides attachment for the spinous process and what else does it provide?   The Lamina it provides the Lamina Groove  
🗑
What are the slender protrusions on each lateral aspect of each vertebra?   Transverse Processes  
🗑
What are the sharp slender protrusions of the posterior aspect of each vertebra?   Spinous Process  
🗑
The transverse processes of the cervical spine each have this?   An anterior and posterior tubercle  
🗑
When two vertebra come together they form what joint? What landmark provides this joint?   Forms the "Z" Joint Vertebral Facet provides the joint  
🗑
What are two important landmarks of C-1?   Atlantal Condyles Odontoid Process or Dens (Anterior Aspect)  
🗑
What additional joint can be found at the sacrum?   Sacroiliac Joint (SI Joint)  
🗑
Where is C-7?   Base of the cervical spine just before the large T-1. (can be palpated by flexing placing fingers at base of C-spine and extending, c-1 should disappear, if it doesn't you are on T-1!!)
