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
What are distinguishing features of a cervical vertebra?
Transverse foramina (on all cervical vertebrae) and bifid spinous process on C2-C6
What is the vertebral type with a forked spinous process?
In the cervical spine, the C2-C6 vertebrae generally have bifid spinous proceses.
What characteristics help you distinguish between the different types of vertebrae?
Cervical Vertebrae- has transverse foramen, and a bifid tip of spinous process Thoracic Vertebrae- Has coastal facets on the sides of the body Lumar Vertebrae- has no transverse foramen, no bifurcated tip, and no facets on the sides of the body
How many cervical thoracic and lumbar vertebrae are there?
Absolutely! They have features unique to the region they are found in, relating to structure and therefore function. Typical cervical vertebrae (C3-C6) usually have bifid spinous processes which point slightly inferiorly. The spinous processes on lumbar vertebrae are oblong in shape and point directly posteriorly. The articular facets of cervical vertebrae face superior-inferiorly, whereas lumbar articular facets face medial-laterally. Cervical vertebrae have transverse foramen on right and left(containing the vertebral arteries), lumbar have none. They have mamillary processes on their superior articular processes. The bodies of lumbar vertebra are larger and thicker than cervical vertebrae, though they are oval/kidney shaped shaped in both regions. The transverse processes of lumbar vertebrae are much longer, for muscle attachment. Cervical vertebrae have anterior and posterior tubercles extending from their transverse processes. The pedicles of lumbar vertebrae are slightly longer and more defined than those of cervical vertebrae. I think that covers everything, let me know if you think of anything else!
What bone contains a transverse foramen bifid spine and small body?
The atlas, the first vertebrae.
What is the difference between the cervical vertebrae and thoracic vertebrae and lumbar vertebrae?
The Cervical vertebrae obtain: - Bifid (meaning double) spinous processes - Foramina transversarium for passage of nerves and vessels - The body is a more oval shape - Do not articuate with the ribs The Thoracic vertebrae obtain: - Spinous process (singular) - No foramina transversarium - The body is a small semi-circular shape - Articulate with the ribs -Have demifacets for articulation with the ribs The Lumbar vertebrae obtain: - Spinous process (singular) - No transverse processes - The body is a large circular shape - Does not articulate with the ribs - Demonstrates a "Scotty Dog" when positioned for a left/right anterior/posterior oblique radiograph.
Is bifid spinous process the same as spina bifida?
No. A bifid spinous process is not the same. The word bifid means two branches off one process. There is one on the the second cervical vertebrae. It comes of a spinous process. This is a projection that forms what we call the spine. You can feel these down your back. Each vertebrae has one. It is considered a land mark. If you put a magic marker dot on each one, you can see if your spine curves left or right. Spina bifida occurs when the spinal vertebrae don't fuse around the spinal cord as it should. The cord is damaged at that spot. A person with this has cord damage from that spot down. They may not be able to walk. If it is higher, they might not be able to breathe or walk or move their arms. It is similar to the effect of paralytic polio.
How many vertebrae makes up the spine?
it sometimes depends on the person, but there are roughly 33 in the average personit also depends what you count as vertabrae, as some people might tell you just 24Individual vertebrae named according to region and position, from superior to inferiorCervical - 7 vertebrae (C1-C7) C1 is known as "atlas" and supports the head, C2 is known as "axis"Possesses bifid spinous processes, which is absent in C7Small-bodiedThoracic - 12 vertebrae (T1-T12) Distinguished by the presence of coastal facets for the articulation of the heads of ribsBody is intermediate in size between the cervical and lumbar vertebraeLumbar - 5 vertebrae (L1-L5) Has a large bodyDoes not have coastal facets nor transverse process foraminaSacral - 5 (fused) vertebrae (S1-S5)Coccygeal - 4 (3-5) (fused) vertebrae (Tailbone)
How many vertebras are in the spine?
There are a total of 33 vertebrae in the vertebral column, if assuming 4 coccygeal vertebrae.The individual vertebrae, named according to region and position, from superior to inferior, are:Cervical: 7 vertebrae (C1-C7) C1 is known as "atlas" and supports the head, C2 is known as "axis"Possesses bifid spinous processes, which is absent in C1 and C7Small-bodiedThoracic: 12 vertebrae (T1-T12) Distinguished by the presence of coastal facets for the articulation of the heads of ribsBody is intermediate in size between the cervical and lumbar vertebraeLumbar: 5 vertebrae (L1-L5) Has a large bodyDoes not have coastal facets nor transverse process foraminaSacral: 5 (fused) vertebrae (S1-S5)Coccygeal: 4 (3-5) (fused) vertebrae (Tailbone)
What are some Diseases of the soft palate?
1. bifid uvula 2. Cleft palate .
What is a bifid tongue and how is it treated?
bifid tongue is also known as cleft tongue.it is a congenital defect i.e present since birth cleft tongue is a cleft running either horizontally or vertically over the tongue (more often vertically) . this cleft may either be complete or partial . in case of complete clefeting the tongue would be divided into two parts , thereby giving the characteristic bifid tongue In case of partial clefting the tongue would only have a groove like depression thereby causing problems such as food lodgement.
