QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS ALREADY
GRADED A+ PROFESSOR VERIFIED
1. vertebral column: extends from the cranium to the coccyx. is the main part
of the axial skeleton
2. lumbosacral angle: located at the junction of the lumbar region of the
vertebral column and sacrum
3. vertebrae, IV discs: the vertebral column is flexible because of these 2
things
4. thoracic and sacral curvatures: these are curvatures that are concave
anteriorly
5. cervical and lumbar curvatures: these curvatures are concave posteriorly
6. secondary curvatures: the cervical and lumbar curvatures are.......which
begin to appear during the fetal period, but are not obvious until infancy
7. cervical curvature: becomes prominent when an infant begins to hold their
head erect
8. sacral curvature of females: is reduced so the coccyx protrudes less into the
pelvic outlet
, 9. kyosis: abnormal increase in thoracic curvature
10. lordosis: an anterior rotation of the pelvis producing abnormal increase in
lumbar curvature
11. vertebral foramen: the vertebral arch and posterior surface of the vertebral
body from the walls of......
12. transverse processes: project posterolaterally from the junctions of the
pendicles and laminae
13. zygapophysial joints: four articular processes are in apposition with
corresponding processes of vertebrae superior and inferior to them forming....
14. sacral promontory: projecting anterior edge of the body of the first sacral
vertebra
15. sacral hiatus: the inverted U-shaped (blank) results from absence of laminae
and spinous processes of S4 and S5 vertebrae
16. coccyx: is four fused vertebrae that are the remnants of an embryonic tail
17. spina bifida cystica: associated with herniation of the meninges or the spinal
cord
18. laminectomy: removal of lamina and spinous process
19. dislocation of vertebrae: if it does not result of facet jumping with locking of
the displaced artiuclar processes, the vertebrae may self reduce (slip back into
place)
20. posterior median furrow: where the spinous process of the lumbar vertebrae
are easy to observe and palpate
21. anulus fibrosus: ring consisting of concentric lamella of fibrocartilage
forming the circumference of the IV disc
22. nuclei pulposi: dehydrates with age and loses elastin while gaining
collagen, eventually becoming dry and granular
23 uncovertebral joints: located between the uncus of the bodies of C3-C6 and
the beveled inferolateral surfaces of the vertebral bodies superior to them
