Friday, January 21, 2022 MSAK 1 Trunk Bones —The Axial Skeleton (center bones of body) - Vertebral column - Vertebral column — made up of 26 connected vertebrae ( exible, ridged) Lose 50% of mobility in vertebral column as we age Muscles in vertebral column help maintain spinal curve Vertebrae increase in size descending down vertebral column — has more pressure to withstand - 3 Pillars: (makes up vertebral column) (1) Major pillar—anterior; stacked vertebral bodies (weight bearing part of vertebrae) (2) Minor pillars—posterior left & right; stacked articular processes - Intervertebral discs - Intervertebral disc — cartilage between each vertebrae Holds vertebrae together Shock absorbent increase stability/strength - Herniation — Jelly/watery substance in the middle of disc; slides and bulges out bulging goes into intervertebral foreman When bulging is too much; lls up foreman and compresses the nerve Bulging gets worse and worse if untreated… - starts w/ pins & needles/ numbness/ burning sensation - ends w/ weakness of muscle —> paralyzed; if nerve gets completely compressed / cut - Typical Vertebra - 2 major parts: 1. Vertebral body (anteriorly) 2. Vertebral arch (posteriorly) Common features to all vertebrae: - (1) Vertebral body — large, thick base - (1) Vertebral arch — Arch of vertebra inside foramen —without body - Floor = back of vertebra - Walls = pedicles - Roof = where laminae join - (1) Vertebral foramen — Hole made between the body and vertebral arch - Houses spinal nerve Spinal nerve named by the vertebral sitting above them - Ex. foreman of L1 (& upper L2) : nerve would be called “ Spinal Nerve L1” - (1) Spinal cord — inside vertebral foremen and canal fi fl - Nerve branches o spinal cord and exits vertebral canal through intervertebral foreman - (1) Canal — multiple foramen stacked together - (2) Pedicles — 2 arms branching o the body (2) Superior vertebral notch — notch forming lower margin of intervertebral foreman (2) Inferior vertebral notch — notch forming upper margin of intervertebral foreman - (2) Laminae — 2 arms branching o the pedicles - (1) Spinous process — 2 lamina coming together creating sharp process on midline (posterior) - (2) Transverse processes — 1 Pedicle and 1 Lamina coming together forming long process - (4) Articular processes (Superior/ Inferior) — hands @ the junctions of pedicles/laminae holding onto the adjacent vertebrae’s above/below (4) Articular facet — facet covered by cartilage on each end of articular process - Joints: Disc joint — between 2 adjacent bodies @ intervertebral discs (less mobile than Z-joint) Zygo-pophyseal joint (Z joint) — between articular facets of articular processes; responsible for majority of movement in spine - Spinal curves (curvatures) Curves are ‘developmental’ - gradually taking weight of the body as we grow - Primary curve —Fetus born with 1 single spinal curve convexity (Kyphosis curvatures) - Thoracic curve — remains unchanged - Sacral curve — remains unchanged - Secondary curves — develop as baby grows (Lordosis curvatures) - Cervical curve — appears @2-3 months - Lumbar curve — appears @1 year (once baby starts walking) Abnormal curves: - Scoliosis — Abnormal curves in Thoratic/ Cervical/ Lumbar; to right or left - Can be due to a poor posture OR Congenital (born with it) - if severe….
