Sagittal plane and medially
Which plane and direction do the superior articular facets face in the lumbar vertebrae?
|
Scoliosis
An abnormal lateral curvature of the spine is known as:
|
L5 is partly or completely incorporated or fused with the sacrum.
What is hemisacralization and sacralization of the L5 vertebrae?
|
4) C7
The tip of the C7 spinous process is the most evident superficially (P449).
The most superficially evident spinous process in the cervical region is part of which vertebra:
1) C2 2) C3 3) C6 4) C7 |
|
L4-L5
What lumbar level(s) mark the termination of conus medullaris at birth?
|
A compression fracture
A collapse of the vertebrae either from trauma or osteoporosis is known as:
|
S1 is separated from the sacrum and partly or completely fused with the L5 vertebrae.
What is Lumbarization of the S1 vertebrae?
|
2) False.
The uncus of the body is only present on the typical cervical vertebrae C3-C7 (P445).
The uncus of the body is a feature typical for all the cervical vertebrae.
1) True 2) False |
|
L4 or L4/L5 IV disc
What is the supracristal plane a marker for?
|
True
True or False:
A rounded back, mostly occurring in adolescents (especially in boys) due to the bodies of the vertebra becoming wedged shape is known as Scheurmann’s disease (osteochondrosis) |
They are synovial joints that allow limited mobility due to their role in transmitting the weight of most of the body to the hip bones
What are the sacroiliac joints?
|
1) True.
This design gives a wider range of movement than in the rest of the vertebral column (P467).
Unlike other vertebral joints, the craniovertebral joints (occipital condyles, atlas and axis) have no intervertebral discs.
1) True 2) False |
|
Spondylolysis
What pathology is identified by having a broken neck at “Scotty dog”?
|
Osteoporosis
Demineralization of (vertebral body) bone caused by disruption of the normal balance of the calcium deposition and reapportion is known as:
|
The converging of nerves L4-S3 form the largest nerve in the body.
What is the Sciatic Nerve?
|
2) Strong vertical forces
Strong vertical forces would compress the lateral masses between the occipital condyles and the axis, which would tear the transverse ligament apart (P458).
Rupture of the transverse ligament that link the lateral masses of atlas is an injury as a result of:
1) Hyperextension of neck 2) Strong vertical forces 3) Strong force from the posterior side of the head 4) Strong force from the anterior side of the |
|
Rotation
Which motion is the lumbar region resistant toward?
|
False
Correct Ans: Costal facets are located on the vertebral body and transverse process for articulation with head and tubercle of ribs
True or False:
Costal facets are located on the vertebral body and spinous process for articulation with head and tubercle of ribs |
The anterior sliding of the L5 vertebrae on the sacrum, resulting in the overlapping of
the sacral promontory.
What is Spondylolisthesis?
|
2) No function of all four limbs; respiration occurs
Transection between C4-C5 will result in quadriplegia, which is no function of upper and lower limbs); respiration occurs (P506).
Transection of the spinal cord between C4 and C5 will result in:
1) No function of all four limbs; no respiration 2) No function of all four limbs; respiration occurs 3) Loss of lower limb function and some upper limb function 4) Paralysis of both lower |
