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.
The transverse processes of the first cervical vertebra are also known as the?
Ventral Arches
What vertebral type containing foraminia in the transverse processes through which the vertabral arteries ascend to reach the brain?
Cervical Vertebra - Typical
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 are distinguishing features of a cervical vertebra?
Transverse foramina (on all cervical vertebrae) and bifid spinous process on C2-C6
Transverse foramina are found in the?
cervical vertebrae
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 the names of the openings on cervical vertebrae?
transverse foramen
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!
Which landmark is specific only to a cervical vertebrae?
The transverse foramen
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.
