Study Notes
- Coccyx is not part of the Pelvic Girdle
- The posterior connection of the two hip bones is the sacroiliac joint
- The subspinous ligament isn't considered a ligament of the spinal column
- The cervical vertebra sitting beneath the first cervical vertebra is the axis
- The transverse ligament crosses from one side to the other of the vertebral foramen of the axis (C2)
- The transversus abdominis muscle is most likely to be involved in rotation of the lumbar spine
- The greatest amount of lateral flexion in the spinal column takes place in the cervical and lumbar spine
- A major muscle of the cervical spine that flexes, laterally flexes, and rotates the cervical spine has attachments to the mastoid process of the skull, the clavicle and the thoracic vertebrae
- The quadratus lumborum muscle's most likely action regarding the spinal column is lateral flexion
- The area between the cervical region and the diaphragm in the trunk is known as the thorax
- The area between the diaphragm and the hips pertaining to the trunk is known as the abdomen
- The cervical vertebrae are distinguished from other vertebrae by their bifurcated spinous processes
- The second cervical vertebra is unique due to its odontoid process
- The first vertebra is also known as the atlas
- Lumbar vertebrae are the largest in size and feature short, blunt spinous processes
- The diaphragm is the primary muscle of respiration
- The external intercostals assist the diaphragm during quiet inspiration
- The internal intercostals muscle group assists the abdominal muscles during forced expiration
- The xiphoid is the distal portion of the sternum
- There are 7 pairs of true ribs making up the thorax structure
- The Pericardium is not considered a layer of cells that make up the walls of the ventricles of the heart
- Twelve vertebrae have ribs attached to them
- There are 2 floating ribs
- The head of a rib articulates with the vertebra
- The manubrium of the sternum has a suprasternal notch which is an anatomical landmark
- Proper hand position during cardiopulmonary resuscitation is stressed to avoid possible facture of the xiphoid of the sternum
- The base of the heart is located at the superior (upper) end of the heart
- Air passing through the respiratory tree ends ultimately in the air sacs

- The descending aorta is initially known as the thoracic aorta
- The medulla oblongata is also known as the myelencephalon
- The pulmonary arteries are the two largest arteries of the heart
- The middle cerebral artery is the vessel most commonly involved in an epidural hematoma, although trauma can lacerate any artery supplying the brain with blood.
