◉ Pronation. Answer: movement that turns the body part down. Ex
laying on your stomach
◉ Dorsiflexion. Answer: refers to flexion at the ankle, so that the foot
points more superiorly.
◉ Plantarflexion. Answer: refers extension at the ankle, so that the
foot points inferiorly.
◉ Circumduction. Answer: can be defined as a conical movement of
a limb extending from the joint at which the movement is controlled.
(circular movement at the end of the limb)
◉ pinal column (backbone) is comprised of how many vertebrae.
Answer: 33
In infancy we have 33 but the 5 bones of the sacrum and 4 bones of
the coccyx typically become fused and are counted as one bone each
◉ adult vertebral column consists of. Answer: 26
,◉ Cervical vertebrae. Answer: 7
neck/head region
◉ Thoracic vertebrae. Answer: 12
shoulders, trunk (midback)
◉ Lumbar vertebrae. Answer: 5
lower back
◉ Sacral vertebrae. Answer: sacrum
5 before fused
◉ Coccygeal vertebrae. Answer: tailbone
4 before fused
◉ what does the top two cervical vertebrae (C1 and C2) do/ also
called?. Answer: They allow rotation of the head.
Atlas (C1) and Axis (C2).
◉ how many natural spinal curvatures in the human body?. Answer:
4-- They support the weight of our body, along with the lower limbs
of the body and the pelvis.
,◉ Spinous Process. Answer: Spinous process is a bony projection off
the posterior (back) of each vertebra.
◉ laminae. Answer: of the vertebral arch join and provides the point
of attachment for muscles and ligaments of the spine
◉ Vertebral foramen. Answer: -the foramen (opening)
The vertebral foramen begins at C1 and continues below L5.
◉ Articular facet. Answer: are projections of the vertebra that serve
the purpose of fitting with an adjacent vertebra. The actual region of
contact is called the articular facet.
◉ Transverse process. Answer: is a small bony projection off the
right and left side of each vertebrae. The two transverse processes of
each vertebrae function as the site of attachment for muscles and
ligaments of the spine as well as the point of articulation of the ribs
(in the thoracic spine).
◉ Vertebral body. Answer: is the thick oval segment of bone forming
the front of the vertebra also called the centrum.
, ◉ similarities and differences of Thoracic Vertebra. Answer: they are
different than others because they are the only vertebra supporting
the ribs and the only vertebra whose spinous process overlap
◉ Lumbar Vertebrae. Answer: these vertebrae hold the weight of the
upper body and provide flexibility and movement to the trunk of the
body. These vertebrae protect the spinal cord and nerves within the
vertebral canal.
◉ The spinal canal. Answer: is the hollow passage formed by the
foramen of the vertebrae through which the spinal cord runs
◉ which region in the spine gives us the most movement?. Answer:
cervical region
◉ which vertebrae is largest in size. Answer: The lumbar vertebrae
are larger in size than cervical or thoracic vertebrae.
◉ The skeleton of an adult is made up of approximately how many
bones?. Answer: 206 bones
◉ Skull, vertebral column (spine) and rib cage. Answer: Axial
skeleton
