Maxilla & Mandible (Alveolar Process)

Bony mass containing roots and teeth.

Maxilla & Mandible (Alveolar Margin)

Edge of the alveolar process. This recedes with gum disease until eventually the teeth fall out as the roots are no longer supported.

Hyoid Bone

Not a skull bone or a vertebral bone. It is an integral part of the larynx structure and is held in position by ligaments and muscles.

Vertebral Body

Compression fractures are common with osteoporosis and associated with kyphosis, pinched spinal nerves, and loss of height.

Vertebral Foramen = lamina + pedicle

The spinal cord runs through themis large opening. Together, they make up the spinal cord.

Vertebral Arch

This surrounds the spinal cord, and the spinous and transverse processes project from it.

Traverse Process

Many muscles of the neck and back originate and insert here.

Spinous Process

Many muscles of the neck and back origniate here.

Superior and Inferior articular facets

This is where each vertebra atriculates with the vertebra above and below it.

Intervertebral Formen

C1 & C2 Atlas and Axis

Axis

Atlas

Odontoid Procress

A strip of tendon called the linea alba runs from the siphoid process to the pubic sysmphysis of the pelvis and divides the rectus abdominus muscle.

Features of ribs

•1-7 are true ribs.


•8-12 are false ribs because their costal cartilage does not articulate with the sternum directly.


•11-12 are floating ribs because their anterior extremity does not attach to the sternum at all.

Rib Notes

Each rib articulates with the vertebrae at two points: proximally with the vertebral body and laterally with the transverse process.


•All rib articulations with the vertbrae are synovial joints, and all the sternocostal articulations except for the first rib are also synovial joints. Synovial joints are are the most common type of joint and will be discussed lated with tibiofemoral joint in detail.

Spina bifida

Spina bifida is a birth defect where there is incomplete closing of the backbone and membranes around the spinal cord.

Scoliosis

Scoliosis is a medical condition in which a person's spine has a sideways curve. The curve is usually "S"- or "C"-shaped.

Kyphosis

an abnormally excessive convex kyphotic curvature of the spine as it occurs in the cervical, thoracic and sacral regions. Kyphosis can be called roundback or Kelso's hunchback.
