ANSWERS
What causes kyphosis? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅humpback in elderly - loss of turgidity of nucleus
pulposus and has been seen as muscular changes after polio.
What are the defining characteristics of each vertebrae in the superior articular process? - CORRECT
ANSWER✅✅✅Cervical: posteriosuperior
thoracic: posterior
lumbar: medial
What are 5 regional characteristics of cervical vertebrae? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅C1: no body
C2: dens
C7: vertebral prominens is SP
Foramen transversum for vertebral artery
bifid sp
Why is L5 tp elongated? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅attachement of illiolumbar ligament
What kind of joint is the sacroiliac joint? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅synovial planar joint
Describe an intervertebral disc. - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅FIBrocartilage outside is annulus FIBrosis.
Each layer about 90 degrees different for strength.
nucleas pulposes is inner part and is mostly water and is remnant of embryological notochord.
what kind of joint are the facet joints of the vertebrae? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅synovial planar
What are the 5 ligaments of the trunk? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅anterior longitudinal (periosteum
on anterior side and iv disk), posterior longintudinal(post side of body), ligamentum flavum(lamina to
lamina, elastic tissue), interspinous(successive sp), supraspinous(tips of spinous process, lig nuch in
cerv).
,What two things does the posterior longitudinal ligament prevent? - CORRECT
ANSWER✅✅✅hyperflexion and posterior protrustion of nucleus pulposus into vertebral canal.
What ligament prevents hyperextension in the trunk? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅anterior
longitudinal ligament
Describe flexion and extension at each vertebral level. - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Cervical: flexion is
great extension limited due to overlapping sp.
Thoracic: least flexible due to rib attachments.
Lumbar: good extension and flexion bc facet joints are medial. extension is better bc flexion limited by
massive bodies.
What are the joints of the pelvis? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅sacroilliac joints: synovial planar joints
pubic symphyses: fibrocartilage joint
Suboccipital triangle may act as a - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅proprioceptive unit
Describe the thoracolumbar fascia. - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅large fascial sheath (posterior)
connects to abs, illiac crest, and lumbar vertebrae. 3 layers: posterior, middle, anterior. intrinsic muscles
in back are posterior and middle.
what does aponeurotic mean? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅flattened tendonous attachement
the aponeurosis of the abdominal muscles form.... - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅the rectus sheath
the dorsal ramus of sensory nerve C1 has no - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅cutaneous sensory
component. SO dermatome innervations is dorsal rami C2
Vertebral artery is identified.... - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅exiting vf of C1 and lying on posterior arch
and wrapping around anterior side of brainstem to enter foramen magnum
, Where is greater occipital nerve? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅corsses over subocctraingle and to reach
posterior surface of head, provides sensory innervation. emerges inferior to inferior obliquuz capitis. lies
alongside occipital artery.
How is forward bending accomplished in the trunk? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅eccentric contraction
of hamstrings and e spinaeu control hip flexion, concentric contractions bring it back.
What muscles work synergystically to rotate the abdominal region? - CORRECT
ANSWER✅✅✅external and internal oblique v. erector spinae and transversospinalis
What muscles work synergistically to side bend the vertebrae? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅lateral
abdominals and quadratus lumborum vs. e spinae and transverospinalis
Very few muscles that act on movement of the trunk are innervated by lumbosacral plexus (formed
from ventral rami of lumbar and spinal nerves). What are the exceptions? - CORRECT
ANSWER✅✅✅psoas major, quadratus lumborum, muscles of anterior abdominal wall,
intertransversarii
What are the two distinct layers of the skin? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅epidermis: epithelial layer
(ectoderm)
dermis: connective tissue (dense irregular) (mesoderm)
All four major tissue types are located in what organ? what are the tissue types? - CORRECT
ANSWER✅✅✅skin: epithelial, connective, muscle, nervous
What is interdigitation in the skin? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅morphological attachment btw dermis
and epidermis.
What are dermal papillae? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅projections of the dermis into the epidermis
