What is Diffuse facet arthropathy of the cervical spine?
There is generalised affection of the facet joints. Anatomist call those joints as zygapophyseal joints.
What is the the different freely movable joints in your spine?
The freely movable joints in the spine are called facet joints. These joints are located on the back of each vertebra and allow for movement and flexibility in the spine. The facet joints work together with the intervertebral discs to facilitate various spinal movements such as bending forward and twisting.
What joint is found in the back?
Pivot joints are found in the spine at the first and second cervical vertebrae. Plane joints/gliding joints are also found in the posterior aspect of the vertebrae.
How many joints in vertebrae?
Assuming your question relates to the human spine -From the top -8 Cervical vertibrae - C1-C812 Thoracic vertibrae - T1-T125 Lumbar vertibrae - L1-L55 Sacral vertibrae - S1-S5 some of which are fused together.Hope this helps.
The cervical spine is made up of how many cervical vertebrae?
The cervical spine is made up of seven cervical vertebrae. These are numbered(C1-C7) and are the smallest of the true vertebrae. The third through sixth cervical vertebrae have characteristics in common. The first, second, and seventh are considered special cervical vertebrae, and have different characteristics.

What does the medical abbreviation c-spine mean?

Which joints helps in moving head forward and backward?
The joints primarily responsible for moving the head forward and backward are the atlanto-occipital joints. These joints are located between the atlas (the first cervical vertebra) and the occipital bone of the skull. They allow for nodding movements, enabling the head to tilt forward and backward. Additionally, the cervical spine joints contribute to the overall range of motion in the neck.
What does uncovertabral mean?
Uncovertabral refers to a specific anatomical feature related to the cervical spine, particularly the uncovertebral joints. These joints are located between the uncinate processes of the cervical vertebrae and the adjacent vertebrae above them, playing a role in spinal stability and movement. Dysfunction or degeneration of these joints can lead to pain and limited mobility in the neck.
Is the cervical spine inferior to the lumbar spine?
No.The cervical spine is in the neck and is above the lumbar spine, which is in the low back. Because we reference things from anatomical position, which is standing upright, and because the term "inferior" is used to denote things that are below, that statement would be incorrect. Therefore, we could correctly say the cervical spine is superior, or rostral, to the lumbar spine. We could also say that the lumbar spine is inferior, or caudal, to the cervical spine.
How many bones in the cervical spine?
7-same number in you, a mouse, and a giraffe!
