transmits the first cervical nerve
atlas: transverse foramen
transmits vertebral artery and vein
wings of atlas
palpable, provide landmarks for accessing CSF via the foramen magnum of the skull
dens
represents the body of the atlas during development
ligaments of atlanto-occipital joint
dens of axis is attached to occipital bone by 3 ligaments:
apical ligament, alar ligaments (pair), transverse atlantal ligament
apical ligament
extends from dens to the floor of the foramen magnum (skull)
alar ligaments
extend from medial aspect of occipital condyles to the dens
transverse atlantal ligament
prevents dens from moving toward the spinal cord
runs across the dorsal aspect of the dens and attaches to the floor of the atlas
synovial bursa is located between the ligament and the dens
dorsal atlanto-axial ligament
attaches the dorsal aspect of the atlas to the spinous process of the axis
disorders of atlanto-axial joint
incomplete development of dens, developmental lack of transverse atlantal ligamet, traumatic fracture of dens with rupture of dorsal atlanto-occipital ligament
symptoms: dorsal rotation of axis, compression of spinal cord
*worst when dens is intact but transverse atlantal ligament is ruptured or absent
proatlas
transient ossification of tip of dens during development; if not fused with dens, may be mistaken for fracture of dens on radiograph
C6
transverse process is plate-like
used as marker during surgery, easy to palpate
C7
has no transverse foramen
may have a demifacet for articulation of 1st rib
exit of spinal nerves in relation to vertebra
cranial in cervical, caudal in all other
(due to C7 having C7 in front and C8 behind -- more cervical spinal nerves than vertebrae)
thoracic vertebrae
long spinous processes, relatively shorter bodies, presence of mamillary processes, contain cranial and caudal demifacets for the ribs
anticlinal vertebra
T11
spinous process is vertical
cranial articular facet moves to mamillary processes
has a complete facet for the rib
mamillary processes
projections on the transverse processes
sites of muscle attachment
accessory processes
found on last few thoracic vertebrae
arise from pedicles, directed caudally
close to intervertebral foramen, may cause spinal nerve compression if overgown
lumbar vertebrae
have broad spinous processes, cranially-directed transverse processes, prominent mamillary processes, and long bodies
accessory processes diminish in size from T1 to T7
sacrum
formed by union of 3 sacral vertebrae; contains median crest (fused spinous processes), tubercles (fused mamilloarticular processes), lateral sacral crest (fused transverse processes), wing (articular facets for ilium)
hemal arches
y-shaped bones on ventral aspect of Ca 4-6, median coccygeal artery passes through
intumescense
vertebral canal is larger between C5 to T2, and L4 to L7
ribs
13 pairs in dogs and cats
9 sternal, 4 asternal, last pair floating
T1-T10 have intermediate ridges because corresponding vertebrae have demifacets
