22/11/23 Musculoskeletal- the vertebral column and skull: part 2 Learning objective: differentiate bet ween different types and shapes of the vertebrae and relate their structure to function. Learning objective: different shape bet ween atlanto-occipital joint on the atlanto-axial joint and describe the movements that occur at each. Learning objective: describe the major components of the inter vertebral disc and how it components reinforces function as a cushioning structure bet ween vertebrae. Learning objective: describe the embryology of normal spine development. Learning objective: illustrate and de ned ligaments of the vertebral column. Learning objective: describe the surface anatomy of the vertebral column. The vertebral column: The pedicle connects the body ( of the vertebrae ) to the transverse process. The lamina connects the transverse process to the spinous process. The zygapophysial joint joins the posterior regions of the vertebrae. Regional variations of vertebrae: The costovertebral joint connects the thoracic vertebrae to the rib. Atlas ( C1 ) and Axis ( C2 ): C2 C The sacrum: C Slotted over C2 Ligaments of the vertebral column: Intervertebral discs: Embryology of the vertebral column: spinous process transvers process Spine curvature: lordosis kyphosis
