Thorax and vertibre
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is a dermatome? | a section of skin intervated by a single nerve |
| what is a myotome? | a group of muscles intervated by a single nerve |
| List parts of the vertebra | Body, Pedical, Lamina, Sup/inf articulating process, transverse process, spinus process, vertebral arch. |
| what makes up the intervertibral arch? | intervertibral notches |
| two ligaments dorsal to the vertibrae | interspinus ligament, supraspinus ligament |
| Pars interarticularis | part of the vertebrae located between the superior and inferior articulating process |
| describe the two longitudinal ligaments of the spine. | anterior ligament widens as it descends posterior ligament does the opposite |
| yellow ligament | ligamentum flavum connects the lamina of adjacent vertibrae |
| tectrial membrain | |
| describe cervical vertibrae | Transvers foreman, vertebral prominence(c7). Ligamentum nuchae, |
| bone that articulates with the occidental condyle | atlas, has no body |
| Bone responsible for the greatest rotation in the spine | Axis/dens |
| unique fetchers of the thoracic vertebrae | superior, inferior, and transverse costal facet |
| ala | What is the winged structure on the sides of the sacrum |
| sacral hiatus | gap between the sacrum and the coccyx |
| cornu | Horn like structure |
| covering of the sacral hiatus | posterior sacral ligament. |
| increased curvature of the thoracic vertebrae | kyphosis |
| lordosis | greater curvature of the lumbar vertibrae |
| scoliosus | lateral curvature of the spine |
| medulla oblongota | where the spinal cord starts |
| spinal nerves | arise from the spinal cord, pass through the intervertibral foreman |
| lumbar and cervical enlargmetns | area of increased mater space due to larger spinal cord |
| order of the meningies | dura mater, aracnoid matter, pia mater. |
| epidural sapace | used for pain releafe |
| denticulate ligament | teeth like structure that separates the dorsal and ventral roots |
| location of the conous medularous | L2 |
| what is the lumbar cistern? | area of the sub acracnoid space after the conus medularus |
| where dose the filum terminale inturnous end | S2 |
| dorsal root ganglion | a bundle of nerve body containing sensory nerves. |
| dorsal vs ventral ramus | the nerves leaving directly from the spinal cord |
| rhizotomy | cutting of the dorsal and ventral root in order to stop sensory or motor function |
| paravertibral ganglion | |
| ostioperosis | weakening of the bones often leading to increase chance of compression fractures. |
| sympathetic nervous system | |
| parasympothetic nervous system |
