These processes extend laterally from the vertebral foramen.
What else can I help you with?
Cervical vertebrae can be distinguished from other types by the?
- Transverse foramen (holes in the transverse processes through which travels the vertebral artery) - Uncinate processes (lip on the supero-lateral aspects of vertebral bodies)
What attaches to transverse processes?
Muscles and ligaments attach to the transverse processes of the vertebrae. Specifically, these processes serve as attachment points for muscles that facilitate movement and stability of the spine, such as the rotatores, multifidus, and intertransversarii muscles. Additionally, ligaments like the intertransverse ligaments connect adjacent transverse processes, providing structural support to the spinal 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.
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 are the hole called in transverse processes of cervical vertebrae?
The holes in the transverse processes of cervical vertebrae are called transverse foramina. These foramina are unique to the cervical vertebrae and allow for the passage of the vertebral arteries and veins, which supply blood to the brain. They play a crucial role in the vascular system of the head and neck.
What vertebrae has articular facets on the transverse processes?
You have such facets on thoracic vertebrae. They are there to hold the ribs.
Where do the scalenes originate?
They originate from the transverse processes from the cervical vertebrae of C2 to C7 and insert onto the first and second ribs. Thus they are called the lateral vertebral muscles.
What are two accessory processes of the lumbar vertebrae?
the transverse process and the articular process also spinous process
The transverse processes of the first cervical vertebra are also known as the?
The transverse processes of the first cervical vertebra (C1) are also known as the lateral masses. They are prominent bony structures that extend laterally from the sides of the vertebra and serve as points of attachment for muscles and ligaments.
What is the name of the projection that jut laterally from the side of the vertebra?
The projections that jut laterally from the sides of the vertebrae are called transverse processes. Each vertebra typically has two transverse processes, which serve as attachment points for muscles and ligaments, and help in the articulation of the vertebrae with ribs in the thoracic region.
What provides levers against which muscles pull in the vertebral column?
The spinous processes and transverse processes in the vertebrae provide levers against which muscles pull in the vertebral column. Muscles attached to these processes, such as the erector spinae group, create movements like extension, flexion, and rotation in the spine.
What is the name of the two lateral processes in the vertebrae and what is their function?
The two lateral processes in a vertebrae are called transverse processes. Their main function is to provide attachment points for muscles and ligaments that help stabilize and move the spine.
