| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What's the path the spinal cord travel? | Medulla oblongata, C1, lower border of L1, Conus Medullaris |
| What is the Conus Medullaris? | Where the Spinal Cord tapers off to a point. |
| Where is the most common site for a lumbar puncture is? | L3-L4 |
| What do the Intervertebral Disks do? | Spinal stability, flexibility, & movement of the vertebral column. |

| How many seperate bones in the vertebral column does an adult have? | 26 |
| Concave? | A rounded inward or depressed surface like a "cave". Cervical and Lumbar |
| Convex? | A rounded outward or elevated surface. Thoracic and Sacral. |
| Lordotic | Concave curvature of the spine. |
| Primary curves | Thoracic and Sacral. |
| Compensatory curves | Cervical and Lumbar |
| What is the purpose of the Primary and Compensatory curves? | Increases the strength & balance of the vertebral column. |
| Lordosis | bent backward; abnormally increased "swayback" |
