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. |
