CHP8 Skeletal; Hyoid, Vertebrae, & Thoracic Bones and Their Markings

        Help!  

Question
Answer
show U-shaped bone in the neck between the mandible and upper part of the larynx; distinction as the only bone in the body that does not articulate with any other bone; suspended by ligaments from the styloid processes of the temporal bones  
🗑
Vertebral Column   show
🗑
show Anterior part of each vertebra (except the first two cervical) consists of the body; posterior part of the vertebrae consists of the neutral arch, which in turn consists of two pedicles, two laminae, and seven processes projecting from the laminae  
🗑
Body   show
🗑
Pedicles   show
🗑
Lamina   show
🗑
show Formed by the pedicles and laminae; protects the spinal cord posteriorly; congenital absence of one or more neural arches is known as spina bifida (the cord may protrude right through the skin)  
🗑
Spinous process   show
🗑
show Right and left lateral projections from laminae  
🗑
show Project upward from laminae; have smooth superior articular facets  
🗑
inferior articulating processes   show
🗑
show hole in the center of the vertebra formed by union of the body, pedicles, and laminae; spinal foramina, when vertebrae are superimposed on one another, form the spinal cavity that houses the spinal cord  
🗑
Intervertebral foramina   show
🗑
Cervical Vertebrae   show
🗑
show 1st cervical vertebrae; lacks body & spinous process; superior articulating processes are concave ovals that act as rockerlike cradles for condyles of occipital bone; named atlas because it supports the head as Atlas supported the world in Greek mythology  
🗑
Axis (epistropheus)   show
🗑
show 12 pairs of ribs attached to vertebrae; stronger, w/ more massive bodies than cervical vertebrae; no transverse foramina; 2 sets facets for artiulations w/ the corresponding rib; 1 on body, 2nd on transverse process; upper T have long spinous process  
🗑
show Strong, massive; superior articulating processes directed medially instead of upward; inferior articulating processes, laterally instead of downward; short, blunt spinous processes  
🗑
Sacrum   show
🗑
Sacral promontory   show
🗑
show four or five separate vertebrae in a child but fused into one as an adult  
🗑
Curves   show
🗑
show Column curves at birth from the head to the sacrum with the convexity posteriorly; after the child stands, the convexity persists only in the thoracic and sacral regions, which are therefore called primary curves  
🗑
Secondary curves (Cervical curve & Lumbar curve)   show
🗑
Sternum   show
🗑
show Main central part of bone  
🗑
show Flaring upper part  
🗑
Xiphoid process (re: sternum)   show
🗑
show Upper seven pairs; fasten to the sternum by costal cartilages  
🗑
False ribs   show
🗑
show The last two pairs of false ribs that do not attach to the sternum at all  
🗑
show projection at the posterior end of a rib; articulates with the corresponding thoracic vertebrae & one above, except the last three pairs, which join the corresponding vertebrae only  
🗑
show Constricted portion just below the head  
🗑
Tubercle (re: ribs)   show
🗑
Body or shaft (re: ribs)   show
🗑
show Cartilage at the sternal end of true ribs; attaches ribs (except floating ribs) to the sternum  
🗑
