Cervicle Vertibrae
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| How many cervicle vertibrae are there? | 7 |
| What shape is the body of a normal cervicle vertibrae | Rectangular |
| What is special about the spinous process of a normal cervicle vertibrae? | Bifib, split into two parts at end |
| What is the Uncinate process for and where is it? | Lateral ridge of the body of the vertibrae of C3-C7 and on T1. Common site of bone spurs (osteophyte) Keeps the vertibrae in place and limits lateral flexion |
| What is the Foramen Transverum and what is its purpose? | A hole in the tranverse processes of C1-C7. Vertibral artery and sympathetic plexus goes through from C6-C1, Vertibral vein from C1-C7 |
| What direction do the superior facets face on the cervicle vertibrae | BUM, backwards middle, up or posterior, superior, middle |
| What is the Anterior costal process? | Tubricle off tranverse prosess on anterior side |
| What is the Posterior tubricle of the transverse process? | Tubricle off the transverse process posteriorly |
| What tubricle is known as the corotid tubricle and why? | C6 anterior tubricle. Corotid artery passes it to enter into the foramen transversum on C6. The sympathetic plexus follows as well |
| What is another name for C1? | Atlas |
| What is the shape of the body of C1? | There isn't one, got ya! |
| What are the lateral masses on C1? | Large masses on either side of the vertibrae, the facets articulate with the occipital condyles. |
| Whats the difference between the anterior and posterior arch of C1 | Anterior is smaller |
| The superior articular factes of C1 are shaped like? | Peanuts, articulate with occipital condyle |
| What are the bumps on the arches called? | Posterior and anterior tubricles |
| Facet for the dens is? | on C1, covered in hayline cartilage, smooth surface on posterior side of anterior arch, articulates with the dens of C2. |
| What is the dens or odontoid process? | A tooth-like process that protrudes superiorly off the body of C2 to articulate with the Facet for the dens of C1. |
| Where is the superior articular process on C2? | Smoothed out region on the pedicles. |
| C7 is known for what feature when palpating? | Vertibral prominance |
| What cervilce vertibrae has a spinous process that is not bifib? | C7 |
