CRANIAL SUTURES
|
articulation b/w cranial bones, synarthrodial
|
|
|
ATLANTOOCCIPITAL (A/O) JOINT
|
articulation b/w atlas and occipital bone, plane, synovial
|
|
|
ATLANTOAXIAL (A/A) JOINT
|
articulation b/w atlas and axis
|
|
|
ATLANTO-ODONTOID JOINT
|
articulation b/w dens of axis and anterior arch of atlas, pivot
|
|
|
FACET JOINT
|
articulation b/w inferior articulating facet of vertebra above and superior articulating facet of the vertebra below, plane, synovial
|
|
|
INTERVERTEBRAL JOINT
|
articulation b/w intervertebral disc, amphiarthrodial
|
|
|
ALAR LIGAMENT
|
run obliquely upward and lateral from the dens to the occipital condyles; limits rotation of the head of at atlas on axis, limits lateral flexion
|
|
|
CUNIFORM LIGAMENT
|
composed of superior longitudinal fibers, transverse ligament, inferior longitudinal fibers
|
|
|
INNER PORTION OF INTERVERTEBRAL DISC
|
nucleus pulposus
|
|
|
OUTER PORTION OF INTERVERTEBRAL DISC
|
annulus fibrosus
|
|
|
SUPERIOR LONGITUDINAL FIBERS
|
connects transverse ligament to the occiput
|
|
|
TRANSVERSE LIGAMENT
|
stretches across the ring of atlas in the transverse plane; holds the dens against the anterior arch of atlas to create pivot joint
|
|
|
INFERIOR LONGITUDINAL FIBERS
|
connects the transverse ligament to the axis
|
|
|
ANTERIOR LONGITUDINAL (ALL)
|
runs vertically along the anterior surface of bodies of the vertebrae from the occiput to the sacrum; limits vertebral extension
|
|
|
POSTERIOR LONGITUDINAL (PLL)
|
runs vertically along the posterior surface of the bodies of the vertebrae inside the vertebral foramen from C2 to the sacrum; reinforces intervertebral discs
|
|
|
LIGAMENTUM FLAVUM
|
runs lamina to lamina; limits vertebral flexion
|
|
|
INTERTRANSVERSE
|
runs from transverse process to transverse process; limits lateral vertebral flexion
|
|
|
INTERSPINOUS
|
runs deep from spinous process to spinous process; limits vertebral flexion
|
|
|
SUPRASPINOUS
|
runs superficial from spinous process to spinous process; limits vertebral flexion
|
|
|
LIGAMENTUM NUCHAE
|
supraspinous ligament in the cervical spine
|
|
|
TEMPOROMANDIBULAR (TMJ)
|
b/w mandible and temporal bone
|
