Question
Answer
vertebral column contains   7 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar, 5 sacral (fused), 2 coccygeal vertebra  
🗑
spinous (dorsal) process   wedge-shaped structure that extends posteriorly from the vertebra. Can be felt as a bump when running fingers down spinal column  
🗑
lamina   bony plates, which fuse together  
🗑
spina bifida   failure of lamina to fuse, which spinal cord exposed and can lead to spinal cord damage  
🗑
transverse processes   extend laterally from either side of vertebra. Serve as muscle attachments, and rib attachments in thoracic region.  
🗑
body   Most anterior portion. solid round or oval structure lies on the anterior aspect of vertebra  
🗑
intervertebral discs   flat, cartilaginous discs placed between the vertebral bodies to cushion and reduce injury. Central portion is filled with paste-like material.  
🗑
pedicles   attach to transverse processes to the body of the vertebra  
🗑
vertebral foramen   central hole in vertebra  
🗑
vertebral canal   spinal cord tunnels through the foramen spaces  
🗑
superior & inferior articular processes   inferior articular process on one vertebra forms a joint (articulation) with superior articular process of the next vertebra in line  
🗑
cervical vertebra contains (4)   transverse foramen, atlas, axis, dens (odontoid process)  
🗑
cervical transverse foramen   2 tunnels for important blood vessels to the brain  
🗑
atlas   fist of the cervical vertebra lacks body. Very flat & forms articulation with occipital condyles, allowing the head to move up and down (Yes)  
🗑
dens (odontoid process)   modified body. part of second cervical vertebra that extends into the atlas, creating a pivot joint that allows the head to rotate side to side (no)  
🗑
axis   second cervical vertebra with a modified body called the dens (odontoid process), that extends into the atlas, creating a pivot joint that allows the head to rotate side to side (no)  
🗑
thoracic vertebra   has an additional set of articular surfaces, rib facets, located at the transverse processes  
🗑
rib facets   located on transverse processes of thoracic vertebra. Form a joint with posterior portion of the ribs.  
🗑
lumbar vertebra   largest vertebra of spinal column. Big, have a single hole, lack rib facets  
🗑
sacral vertebra   five sacral vertebra fuse together during development to form a single, solid unit, the sacrum, forming the posterior wall of the pelvis  
🗑
sacrum   solid unit forms the posterior wall of pelvis.  
🗑
coccygeal vertebra   2 additional vertebra at the end of spinal column. Typically fused together, called the tailbone  
🗑
thorax   composed of ribs and sternum  
🗑
sternum   aka breastbone, lies medially in anterior thorax.  
🗑
sternum body   main portion of sternum, serves as attachment for ribs at the front of the thorax.  
🗑
manubrium   superior to sternum body. a triangular bone segment to which claviclesand first pair of ribs attach.  
🗑
xiphoid process   cartilaginous part of the inferior end of the sternum  
🗑
ribs   24 thin , curved bones, arranged in pairs, that attach to the vertebra posteriorly and the sternum anteriorly.  
🗑
costal cartilages   serve as connectors between ribs and sternum. More flexible and allow thorax to exapnd and contract for breathing.  
🗑
true ribs   first 7 pairs of ribs have individual costal cartilages that attach the rib to the sternum  
🗑
false ribs   remaining 5 pairs of ribs with a more indirect connection to sternum. First 3 pairs use shared costal cartilages, while final two floating ribs have no connection  
🗑
floating ribs   final 2 flase ribs have no connection to the sternum at all.  
🗑
appendicular skeleton   upper appendages of the skeleton including shoulder girdle and arms.  
🗑
scapula (4)   large, flat, triangular bone located on the back of shoulder area on each side of body. Articulates with several bones in shoulder region. Has glenoid fossa, scapular spine, acromion process, caracoid process  
🗑
glenoid fossa   oval depression on lateral side of scapula. Forms the "socket" part of the ball-and-socket joint of shoulder and articulates with humerus of upper arm  
🗑
scapular spine   cutting diagonally across posterior scapula. Can be felt as a ridge on the superior, posterior shoulder region  
🗑
acromion process   large, lateral extension of the scapular spine. Articulates with clavicle. Can be felt as a firm bump superior to the shoulder joint  
🗑
coracoid process   smaller projection which lies just inferior to acromion process on the scapula. Serves as attachment point for certain muscles of the shoulder  
🗑
clavicle   aka collar bone. Articulates with both acromion process(scapua) and manubrium (sternum). Felt as firm ridge across anterior shoulder  
🗑
humerus (7)   upper arm bone. articulates with scapula & radius and ulna. Head, greater tubercle, capitulum (condyle), trochlea (condyle), medial & lateral epicondyle,olecranon fossa, coronoid fossa  
🗑
head of humerous   large, rounded knob at superior end. "ball" of ball-and-socket shoulder joint and articulates with glenoid fossa (scapula)  
🗑
greater tubercle   lateral to head of humerus. Large bump, important muscle attachment site, can be felt just inferiorly and slightly lateral to acromion process  
🗑
capitulum   distal, lateral, rounded condyle, that articulates with radius.  
🗑
trochlea   distal, medial side of humerus. Articulates with ulna. Shaped like pulley or spool and extends more distally than capitulum  
🗑
medial & lateral epicondyle   just proximal to condyles large bumps can be felt on either side of humerus. Medial (more pronounced) is near trochlea, lateral near capitulum.  
🗑
olecranon fossa   small depression posterior aspect of distal humerus. Makes space for proximal portion of ulna during elbow movement  
🗑
coronoid fossa   smaller depression anterior aspect of distal humerus, creating space for another portion of ulna during movement.  
🗑
ulna(4)   medial bone of lower arm, extending from elbow to little finger side of the hand. trochlear (semilunar) notch, olecranon process, coronoid process, styloid process of the ulna  
🗑
trochlear (semilunar) notch   forms hinged-type joint with trochlea of humerus, allowing lower arm to move up and down. Trochlea fits neatly into this crecent shaped structure.  
🗑
olecranon process   aka elbow. large bump posterior to trochlear notch  
🗑
coronoid process   smaller projection at distal end of trochlear notch  
🗑
styloid process of ulna   pointed projection at most distal end of ulna. felt as a bump on the posterior, medial wrist  
🗑
radius (3)   lateral bone of lower arm, extending from elbow to thumb side. head, radial tuberosity, styloid process of radius  
🗑
head of radius   forms pivot joint with capitulum of humerus, allowing hand turn over to the other side  
🗑
radial tuberosity   small bump inferior to head of radius. serves as important muscle attachment  
🗑
styloid process of radius   pointed projection at distal end of radius. felt as bump on lateral side of wrist  
🗑
carpal bones   wrist: 8 bones held together with strong, broad ligaments that wrap around the wrist. slide across each other during movement.  
🗑
metacarpal bones   hand: 5 bones  
🗑
phalanges   Fingers: attached to each metacarpal bones. knuckles represent articulations between phalanges. Each finger has 3, thumb has 2  
🗑
transverse foramen   atlas, axis (dens), cervical  
🗑
rib facet   thoracic  
🗑
