Study Notes
Anatomy of the Spinal Column
- The middle cranial fossa houses the temporal lobes of the brain, while the posterior cranial fossa houses the cerebellum.
- The spinal column consists of 7 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar, 5 sacral, and 3-5 coccygeal vertebrae, each with specific functions and characteristics.
- The spinal curves include primary curves (thoracic and sacral) that develop prenatally, and secondary curves (cervical and lumbar) that develop postnatally.
- A typical vertebra consists of various parts, such as the vertebral body, vertebral arch, pedicles, laminae, spinous process, and transverse processes.
- Structural variations in vertebrae reflect regional specializations in function, such as load-bearing capacity and spinal cord diameter.
- The Atlas (C1) and Axis (C2) are specialized vertebrae with unique features, including superior articular facets and transverse foramina.
- Intervertebral articulations involve the vertebral canal, intervertebral foramina, and zygapophyseal joints, allowing slight gliding movements between vertebrae.
- Intervertebral discs consist of a fibrocartilaginous anulus fibrosus and a gelatinous core (nucleus pulposus), providing cushioning and flexibility.
- The sacrum and coccyx are fused vertebrae with specific functions, including articulation with the lower limb and protection of pelvic viscera.
- The anatomical position and directional nomenclature are essential for precise communication in anatomical descriptions, involving terms like cranial, caudal, dorsal, ventral, lateral, and medial.
- The frontal or coronal plane is used to separate the body into anterior and posterior portions, aiding in anatomical descriptions and sectional nomenclature.
- Understanding the precise language and directional terms is crucial for effective communication in the study and description of human anatomy.
