|
symphyses
|
|
ATLANTO-OCCIPITAL JOINT
|
between superior articular facets of atlas and occipital condyles of the cranial base
Condyloid type of synovial joint allowing primarily for flexion/extension |

ATLANTO-AXIAL JOINTS
|
Three joints that allow for rotation of skull and atlas on C2 (around dens)
Right & Left Lateral atlanto-axial joints: between inferior facets of C1 and superior facets of C2 Gliding type of synovial joint Median atlanto-axial joint: Between anterior arch of C1 and dens of C2 Pivot type of synovial joint |
|
Which are true ribs?
|
1-7 connect to sternum
|
|
Function of head of rib
|
articulates with superior costal facet of T vertebra of same number and the inferior costal facet of the vertebra numbered one lower, and IV disc btwn the two vertebrae
|
|

Right!
|
|
Anterior Longitudinal Ligament
|
- connects anterolateral aspects of vertebral bodies and IV disks from C1 to the sacrum
limits hyperextension of column |
|
Posterior longitudinal ligament
|
(weaker/ narrower than anterior):
connects posterior aspects of vertebral bodies and IV disks from C2 to the sacrum (located inside the vertebral canal) Expands superiorly to form the tectorial membrane which passes through the foramen magnum to attach to the occipital bone of the skull limits hyperflexion of column |
|
Ligamentum flava
|
connect laminae of adjacent vertebrae thereby limiting hyperflexion
|
|
Interspinous ligament
|
connect spinous processes of adjacent vertebrae thereby limiting hyperflexion
|
|
Supraspinous ligament
|
connect apices of the spinous processes of adjacent vertebrae (C7 to the sacrum) thereby limiting hyperflexion.
|
|
Ligamentum nuchae
|
extends superiorly to external occipital protuberance of the occipital bone (also provides a site for muscle attachment)
|
|
Where is the sternal notch?
|
Plane from manubriosternal joint to IV disc T4/T5 marks:
|
|
what muscle do you see on thoracic cavity (that surrounded the sternum) when you pull back the chest cage?

|
|
what kind of joint is costovertebral joints of head of rib?
|
synovial
|
|
what kind of joint is costotransverse joints?
