Articulations of the Vertebral Column
the superior-most intervertebral disc is between these two vertebra
what is the the axis and 3rd cervical vertebra?
The posterior part of the cricoid cartilage takes this form
what is flat plate, the lamina?
The two processes of the vertebrae are associated with these back muscle attachments
What is:
-spine or spinous process
-transverse process
?
the upper part of the dorsum
what is bridge of the nose?
the articulation of the two parietal bones in the median plan of the skull
what is the sagittal suture?
the center of the intervertebral disc is what this structure forms
what is nucleus pulposus?
Where the laminae of the thyroid cartilage fuse anteriorly, they form this structure
what is Laryngeal prominence (Adam's apple)?
the ledge that overlies the shoulder joint
what is the acromion?
it is at this point that the skin of the vestibule gives way to the mucous membrane of the nasal cavity
What is the limen nasi?
this divides the joint cavity into two separate compartments
what is the articular disc?
anulus fibrosus- external fibers blend with these type of ligaments
what is longitudinal ligaments?
The inferior horn of the thyroid cartilage articulates with this
what is cricoid cartilage?
the SUPERFICIAL muscles of the back
What is:
-trapezius
-latissimus dorsi
-levator scapulae
-rhomboid minor
-rhomboid major
?
this structure forms the choanae inferiorly
what is the palatine bone?
one prominent intraarticular ligament called the articular disc is the ligament of this
what is the TMJ?
two discs in these regions tend to be higher anteriorly than posteriorly. this difference results in the secondary curvatures in these regions (concave posteriorly)
what is the cervical and lumbar regions?
TIMES COMES AND ENDS is a mnemonic for these types of cartilages that forms the larynx
What is
Thyroid
Cricoid
Arytenoid
Epiglottic ?
the insertion of rhomboid minor
What is medial border of the scapula at the scapular spine?
the lateral boundary is characterized by the presence of this
what is three chonchae (or turbinates)?
the bony surfaces of the temporomandibular joint
what is mandibular fossa of the temporal bone and head (condyloid process) of the mandible?
these are the parts that the intervertebral disc consist of
what is annulus fibrosis and nucleus pulposus?
The posterior surfaces of the two arytenoids is where this connects
What is arytenoideus?
the action of the latissimus dorsi
What is medial rotation, adduction, and extension of the arm at the shoulder joint?
the space just below the superior nasal concha
what is the superior meatus?
the planar movements
what is protraction, retraction, and lateral movement?
