Thoracic   T1-T12  
🗑
Lumbar   L1-L5  
🗑
Sacral   S1-S5  
🗑
Coccygeal   2-4  
🗑
What are the three types of vertebrae?   Cervical, Thoracic, Lumbar  
🗑
What is Annulus Fibrosis?   Harder outside  
🗑
What is Nucleus pulposus?   Softer inside  
🗑
What is the function of the Intervetebral foramen?    
🗑
What is Disk herniation?   Protrusion of nucleus pulposus through annulus fibrosus  
🗑
What is Lordosis?   Excessive anterior curvature of lumbar spine  
🗑
What is Kyphosis?   Excessive posterior curvature of thoracic spine  
🗑
What is Scoliosis ?   excessive lateral curvature (most common)  
🗑
What is Atlas?   C1- superior articulating facets with occipital condyles of skull  
🗑
What is Axis?   C2- articulates with C1. Dens or odontoid process of C2 projects up into area where body of C1 would be  
🗑
What is another name for the Atlas?   Atlanto-occipital Joint  
🗑
What is another name for the Axis?   Atlanto-axial joint  
🗑
Where are Zygapophyseal Joints   Between superior and inferior facet joints  
🗑
What is the function of Zygapophyseal joint?   Prevent excessive torsion  
🗑
What do disks serve as?   -spacers to allow nerve roots to exit spinal canal -act as shock absobers  
🗑
Atlanto-occipital membrane   Attach occipital bone of skull to C1  
🗑
Atlanto-axial membrane   Connects C1 to C2  
🗑
Transverse (Hangman's) ligament   Connects lateral masses on C1 and holds dens in place  
🗑
Anterior longitudinal ligament   limits hyper-extension  
🗑
Posterior longitudinal ligament   limits flexion  
🗑
Ligamentum flavum   -Limits lateral flexion - Runs between laminae  
🗑
Interspinous   -Between spinous processes -Limits flexion  
🗑
Supraspinous   -Between spinous processes -Limits flexion  
🗑
Ligamentum Nuchae   -Helps to supports cervical curve -Place for muscle attachment  
🗑
what is C1 involved in?   Flexion only  
🗑
What is C2 involved in?   Rotation only  
🗑
Are ribs 8-12 "floating ribs"?   No, only 11-12 are floating ribs. 8-10 are false ribs  
🗑
What are the 3 joints in anterior articulations of the thorax comprised of?   -Chondrosternal -Costochondal -Interchodral  
🗑
What are the four muscles associated with cervical flexion?   Sternocleidomastoid, longus colli, longus capitis, and scaleni  
🗑
T/F Two muscles associated with trunk and pelvic rotation are internal oblique (bilateral) and external oblique (contralateral)   False  
🗑
T/F Atlanto- axial joint allows rotation C1 on top of C2   True  
🗑
T/F Lordosis is anterior curvature on the lumbar spine; while Kyphosis is anterior curvature of thoracic spine   False, Kyphosis is posterior curvature  
🗑
T/F inhalation process can be described when the diaphragm contracting and creating more space in thoracic capacity.   True  
🗑
What are Chondrosternal joints? (anterior attachment)   Tied by Costosternal ligament  
🗑
What are Costochondral joints? (anterior attachment)   Permit little movement  
🗑
What are Interchondral joints? (anterior attachment)   Interchondral ligament  
🗑
What is Corpocapitate articulation? (Posterior attachment)   -Between vertebral body and rib head -Stabilized by superior costotransverse and costovertebral radiate ligaments  
🗑
What is Costotransverse articulation? (Posterior attachment)   -Between tubercles of ribs 1-10 and transverse processes -Stabilized by the costotransverse ligament, ligament of the neck, and ligament of the tubercle  
🗑
What is the mechanics of respiration?   -Enlarge thoracic capacity -Creates vacuum -Air moves into lungs to equalize pressure  
🗑
Quiet inspiration   -diaghragm in charge. Some assistance from scalenes and intercostal muscles.  
🗑
Quiet expiration   no direct muscle action. Elastic recoil of lungs sufficient  
🗑
Deep inspiration and expiration   recruits more muscles  
🗑
What does Phrenic nerve damage typically result in?   paralysis of half of the diaphragm  
🗑
