MOORE'S CLINICALLY ORIENTED ANATOMY EXAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS %
GUARANTEED SUCCESS.
spondylolysis answer >>>>a defect that allows part of the vertebral arch to be
separated from the vertebral body
spondylolisthesis answer >>>>the displacement of a vertebrae in which it slips
forwards onto the vertebral body
what makes up the vertebral arch? and what is it? answer >>>>the vertebral arch
encloses and protects the spinal cord- forming the vertebral foramen. consists of
two pedicles and laminae.
list the atypical vertebrae answer >>>>c1, c2, c7, t1, t9, t10, t11, t12, l5
what are the components of a typical vertebrae answer >>>>vertebral arch, body,
seven processes?
what is unique to all cervical vertebrae? answer >>>>they have the transverse
foramen that is an opening on each process which gives passage to the vertebral
artery and vein
what is the uncus of the body? and what is its purpose? answer >>>>a bony
projection that forms a joint with the body of the cervical vertebrae. It reinforces
the intervertebral disc and provide protection to the structures.
, MOORE'S CLINICALLY ORIENTED ANATOMY
what unique articulation occurs between C1 and C2? answer >>>>atlantoaxial
joint- this articulation is secured by the transverse ligament
what is spine bifida? and what is the distinction between the two versions?
answer >>>>a birth defect in which a developing baby’s spine fails to develop
properly. The two types are Spine Bifida Cystic and Spine Bifida Occult- one
produces a cleft the other doesn't.
what are the curvatures and movements of the spine? answer >>>>curvatures:
cervical lordosis, thoracic kyphosis, lumbar lordosis, sacral kyphosis
movements:
flexion, extension, lateral flexion and extension, rotation around head and trunk
what is excessive kyphosis? what is excessive lordosis? what is scoliosis? answer
>>>>excessive kyphosis- hunchback, abnormally outward curved spine
excessive lordosis- swayback, abnormal inward curvature of the spine
scoliosis- abnormal sideways curvature of the spine
what are the various spinal cord injuries? answer >>>>spinal cord shock, lumbar
spondylosis, transection of the spinal cord
spinal cord shock? answer >>>>caused by protrusion of a cervical iv disk after
neck injury
Lumbar Spondylosis answer >>>>Degenerative joint disease caused by nerve root
pressure by protruding discs
