Cervical and Thoracic Spine solved &
updated (GUARANTEED SUCCESS)
Which parts of the spine are concave? - answer cervical and lumbar
Which parts of the spine are convex? - answer thoracic and sacrum
The convex parts of the spine (thoracic and sacrum) are considered what type of curvature? - answer
primary
The concave parts of the spine (cervical and lumbar) are considered what type of curvature? - answer
secondary or compensatory
cervical- 1st compensatory
lumbar- 2nd compensatory

Which parts of the T-spine have cervical vertebrae characteristics? - answer T1-4
Which parts of the T-spine have lumber vertebrae characteristics? - answer T9-12
What is the classification/mobility/movement of the atlantoccipital articulation? - answer -synovial
-diarthrodial
-ellipsoid/condyloid
how many articulations do c1-2 have? - answer 3 articulations
-2 lateral
-1 medial
, What is the classification/mobility/movement of C1-2 laterally (zyago)? - answer -synovial
-diarthrodial
-plane/gliding
What is the classification/mobility/movement of C1-2 medially (anterior arch + dens)? - answer -synovial
-diarthroadial,
-trochoid/pivot
What is the classification/mobility/movement of the intervertebral joints (disk)? - answer -cartilaginous

The zyagopophyseal joints between C3-7 are visualized in what positon? - answer lateral 90 degrees
The zyagopophyseal joints between C1-2 are visualized in what position? - answer AP open mouth
How do you visualize the cervical intervertebral foramina? - answer -45 degree oblqiue
-15 degrees cephalic due to overlapping for AP
-15 degrees caudad for PA
-(PO= upside, AO= downside)
How do you visualize the thoracic zyagopophyseal joints? - answer -70-75 degree oblique because they
sit at 70-75 degree angle from msp
-(PO= upside, AO= downside)
