What is the passageway for vertebral arteries in cervical vertebrae?
Wiki User
∙ 11y ago
The descending thoracic aorta passes down the thorax on the left side of the vertebrae.
It enters in the diaphragm in the abdominal cavity called the aortic hiatus and then becomes the abdominal aorta.
It then divides into the right and left common iliac arteries at the lower border of the 4th lumbar vertebra. Then divides again at the 5th and last lumbar intevertebral disc into the internal and external iliac artery.

Type of vertebra containing foramina in the transverse processes through which the vertebral arteries ascend to reach the brain?
Cervical vertebra - typical The cervical vertebrae contain foramina in the transverse processes, called foramina transversarium.
What level of neck does the carotid arteries bifurcate?
cervical vertebral c5-6
What is marked bilateral facet osteoarthritis in the cervical spine?
The spine is made up of many vertebrae. These all have cartilage between them to keep your back flexible and to keep the vertebrae apart and allow particular nerves to pass between the vertebrae. osteoarthritis is the wearing out or damage of the cartilage between these vertebrae. This can lead to direct back ache and also interfere with nerves going to the various parts of the body.The cervical spine includes the top 8 vertebrae of the backbone.
What are the pathway of a drop of blood from the aorta to the left occipital lobe of the brain and What are the structures through which it flow?
The drop of blood travels as follows: From the aortic arch to the left subclavian artery. Then through the left vertebral, passing though the transverse foramina of the cervical vertebrae (from C6-C1) At the C1 level the vertebral arteries travel across the posterior arch of the atlas before entering the foramen magnum into the skull. From here, it merges with with that vertebral artery on the right side to become the basilar artery. The blood then travels through a branch of the basilar known as the posterior cerebral artery. This artery's branches are divided into two sets, the ganglionic branches and, the cortical branches. The particular artery largely supplying the occipital lobe is known as the parietoöccipital or parieto-occipital artery, and is a cortical branch.
What does a buldging c6 and c7 mean?
It means there is a bulging between the 6th and 7th vertebrae in the neck (cervical part of the spine).
Passageway for vertebral arteries in cervical vertebrae?
Tranverse formamina
What part of the vertebral column contains transverse foramen?
Cervical vertebrae possess transverse foramina to allow for the vertebral arteries to pass through on their way to the foramen magnum to end in thecircle of Willis.
Type of vertebra containing foramina in the transverse processes through which the vertebral arteries ascend to reach the brain?
Cervical vertebra - typical The cervical vertebrae contain foramina in the transverse processes, called foramina transversarium.
Does the thoracic and lumbar vertebra have a transverse foramina?
A transverse foramen is located on the transverse process of cervicle vertebra. The vertebral foramen is the large (more anterior) opening in the body of a vertebra through which the "spinal chord" passes. when the vertebra are stacked in the vertebral column, the series of vertebral foramen is called the vertebral canal.
What movement is most likely to occur in the cervical vertebral column?
how migth bifid spinous process of cervical vertebrae affect anterior-posterior movement in the cervical region of the vertebrae column
A special feature present on the transverse process of cervical vertebrae?
The transverse processes of the cervical vertebrae are pierced by a "foramen transversarium" through which the vertebral artery passes. The transverse processes of the cervical vertebrae are pierced by a "foramen transversarium" through which the vertebral artery passes.
What level of neck does the carotid arteries bifurcate?
cervical vertebral c5-6
What features does cervical vertebrae from other vertebrae?
The Transverse foramina and the vertebral foramen All cervical vertebrae have 3 foramina (holes) -- 1 vertebral foramen and 2 transverse foramina. All other vertebrae have only 1 foramen, the vertebral.
Is there anything in the human body that has 7 parts to it?
7 vertebrae in the cervical section of the vertebral column
Why is there a C8 vertebrae?
There is no C8/8th cervical vertebra. There are 7 cervical vertebra but there are 8 cervical nerves. C8 refers to the 8th cervical nerve which emerges just just below the C7.
What are the names of the five different types of vertebrae in the vertebral column?
Vertebrae are divided into sections: the atlas and axis account for the first cervical vertebrae, of which there are 7 in total; there are 12 thoracic vertebrae, 7 lumbar vertebrae, 1 sacrum (5 separate vertebrae in a baby), and 1 coccyx (4 separate vertebrae in a baby).
How many vertebrae make up the cervical?
The vertebral column is made of 7 cervical, 12 thoracic, and 5 lumbar vertebrae. Additionally the sacrum, or tailbone, consists of 5 vertebrae that are wholly or partially fused together.
