Each bony surface of the Synovial Facet Joints is covered by:
articular cartilage
purpose of synovial fluid:
contained c/in fibrous joint capsule
permits movement
what is the nuchal ligament?
purpose?
attachments?
a strong sheet of fibrous ligamentus tissue
prevents forward flexion of cervical spine
serves as attachments of major muscles
runs from the
Occipital Protuberance
to the
Spinous Process
of the 1st Thoracic Vertebra
attachments of the anterior longitudinal ligament?
most superior point of attachment is:
Runs the length of the “Anterior” aspect of the Cervical Spine (continues distally)
Anterior Tubercle of the Atlas attaching to the Vertebral Bodies
most superior
: Anterior Tubercle of the Atlas
posterior longitudinal ligament:
is much “Broader and Thicker” in the neck as compared to the rest of the
at the level of the body of the axis, the posterior longitudinal ligament becomes:
the tectorial membrane
the highest part of the posterior longitudinal ligament is the:
tectorial membrane
attachments for the tectorial membrane:
Attached to the base of the occiput & to the Body of the Axis
continues inferiorly as the Posterior Longitudinal Ligament traveling all the way down the spine to the sacrum
Ligaments associated c/ holding the Odontoid Process in place (making it a stable pivot in which rotation occurs):
transverse ligament of the atlas
Cruciform Ligament (collectively consist of
: superior and Inferior band & transverse ligament )
tectorial ligament
transverse ligament
lies directly beneath:
holds dens against:
attached on each side to:
prevents:
lies directly beneath
:
tectorial membrane
holds dens against:
ant arch
attached on each side to
:
medial tubercles on the atlas
prevents:
the Odontoid Process from being displaced
posteriorly
cruciform ligament
collectively consists of:
superior and Inferior band & transverse ligament
Superior Band:
runs upward from the
Transverse Ligament to the Base of the Occiput
Inferior Band
: runs downward
to the Body of the Axis
what are the Ligaments that connect the Vertebral Arches?
ligamentum flavum
Atlantooccipital Ligament & Atlantoaxial Ligament
Thearches of the regular cervical vertebra are held together by strips of‘Yellowish Fibrous Tissue” known collectively as the
Ligamentum Flavum
The arches of the Atlas and Axis and edges of the Foramen Magnum are held together by a “Loose and Flexible Sleeve of Fibrous Tissue” known as the
the Atlantooccipital Ligament and Atlantoaxial Ligament
