VERTEBRAE - C7
|
BONE Spine Spinal nerve C7 passes about it. Never C8 passes below Next lower
|
|
VERTEBRAE - INFERIOR ARTICULAR FACET
|
BONE Spine Connects two vertebrae together to make spine most stable Inferior and superior spines from junctions of pedicles and lamina. For a higher vertebra, inferior process points down, articular surface points forward and out.
|
|
VERTEBRAE - LAMINA
|
BONE Spine Upper borders and lower parts of anterior surfaces are rough for the attachment of the ligamentum flava Two broad plates, extending dorsally and medially from the pedicles, fusing to complete the roof of the vertebral arch.
|
|
VERTEBRAE - LUMBAR
|
BONE Spine Area of the spine that is most flexible, allowing rotation and flexion/extension Part of spine that is past the ribs and over the sacrum
|
|
VERTEBRAE - PEDICLE
|
BONE Spine Connect body of vertebra to arch Two short, thick processes, which project backward, from the upper part of the body, at the junction of its posterior and lateral surfaces.
|
|
VERTEBRAE - SACRAL
|
BONE Spine Has holes to allow passage of nerves from cauda equina. Supports,increases size of pelvic cavity Wedge shaped fusion of 5 vertebrae
|
|
VERTEBRAE - SPINOUS PROCESS
|
BONE Spine Attachment sites for muscles and ligaments Directed backward and downward from the junction of the laminae
|
|
VERTEBRAE - SUPERIOR ARTICULAR FACET
|
BONE Spine Connects two vertebrae together to make spine most stable Inferior and superior spines from junctions of pedicles and lamina. For a lower vertebra, superior goes up, articular surface goes backward.
|
|
VERTEBRAE - THORACIC
|
BONE Spine Stabilizes the rib cage, causing limited mobility Vertebrae from which the ribs come out
|
|
VERTEBRAE - TRANSVERSE FORAMEN
|
Spine Allow passage of vertebral artery, vein and plexus of sympathetic nerves through cervical vertebrae Piece the transverse processes
|
|
WHITE COMMUNICATING RAMUS
|
NERVE Spine Connection between the spinal nerves and sympathetic nervous system. Contain myelinated preganglionic sympathetic fibers. Do not extend past L2.
