🗑
Which segments are "typical" lower C spine segments?   C3-7  
🗑
Which segment has the largest spinous process?   C7  
🗑
Where is the first disc?   C2-3  
🗑
Which segments have bifid spinous processes?   C3-6  
🗑
The dens (odontoid process) is part of which bone?   Axis (C2)  
🗑
Joints of Luschka begin at which segment? What to they facilitate/restrict?   C3 Faciliate- flex/ext Restrict- lateral flexion  
🗑
Which segment has a posterior tubercle, not a spinous process?   C1  
🗑
The inferior facets of C1 & superior facets of C2 have what type of relationship?   Convex on Convex- most rotation occurs here  
🗑
What is the "yes" joint? The "no" joint?   Yes- C0-1 No- C1-2  
🗑
Convex occipital condyles movement on concave superior facets of atlas   MIA has nice LIPS Flexion- Posterior/Superior; Extension- Anterior/Inferior  
🗑
With flexion, what direction do occipital condyles roll/slide? Extension?   Flexion- roll anterior, slide posterior Extension- roll posterior, slide anterior  
🗑
Which ligament holds the dens in place?   Transverse Ligament  
🗑
Spondylolysis is what?   Pars Interarticularis defect  
🗑
Orientation of Facet Joints- the joint angle ____ with successive levels?   Decreases; orientation can be thought of passing through pt's eyes. C2-3= 45 deg C7-T1= 10 deg  
🗑
Which level does impingement commonly occur?   C7-T1; transitional area, head forward with longer moment arm  
🗑
Osteokinematics   Plane & direction of mvmt, physiologic mvmt (flexion/extension, etc.)  
🗑
Arthrokinematics   Relative mvmt b/t articular facets of apophyseal joints; Accessory motion (Roll, Slide, etc.)  
🗑
Type I coupling? Type 2 coupling?   Type 1- SB/rotation in opp directions (C0-1) Type 2- SB/rotation in same direction (C2-7)  
🗑

🗑
At which joint does the most flexion & extension occur?   C5-6  
🗑
Since the annulus fibrosis doesn't completely encircle the nucleus pulposus in the C-spine, what covers the remainder?   PLL, so herniations will most likely affect the PLL

A-A lig continuous with ligamentum flavum  
🗑
Which ligament is thick and runs from the external occipital protuberance to the SP of C7?   Ligamentum Nuchae  
🗑
