What structure is associated with the bifid tips of the cervical vertebrae?
Spinous process
What is the vertebral type with a forked spinous process?
In the cervical spine, the C2-C6 vertebrae generally have bifid spinous proceses.
How the 7th cervical vertebrae not bifid?
The 7th cervical vertebra, also known as the vertebra prominens, is unique in that it typically has a larger and more prominent spinous process compared to other cervical vertebrae. Unlike the bifid spinous processes seen in the 2nd to 6th cervical vertebrae, the 7th cervical vertebra's spinous process is usually non-bifid and projects straight out, making it easily palpable. This anatomical feature aids in its identification during physical examinations. The absence of bifidity is believed to be related to its role in providing stability and attachment for muscles and ligaments.
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 can you tell the cervical vertebrae from the rest?
Cervical vertebrae can be identified by their distinct features: they are smaller and have a unique structure with transverse foramina in the transverse processes, which allow for the passage of vertebral arteries. The first two cervical vertebrae, the atlas (C1) and axis (C2), have specialized shapes that enable pivotal head movements. Additionally, cervical vertebrae typically have a bifid spinous process, except for C7, which has a longer, non-bifid spinous process.
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 bone contains a transverse foramen bifid spine and small body?
The vertebrae that contain a transverse foramen, bifid spine, and small body is the cervical vertebrae. The seventh cervical vertebra (C7), also known as the vertebra prominens, typically has these characteristics.
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.
What muscles in the face affect dimples?
Specifically, the presence of a double or bifid zygomaticus major muscle may explain the formation of cheek dimples
What if you scratch your uvula?
This is called bifid uvula. It happens the same way cleft palate happens. When the two halves of the palate were fusing when you were in the womb, the two sides of the uvula didn't fuse. It occurs in 2% of the population and is unlikely to cause any serious problems. Just google bifid uvula for more info.
What are some Diseases of the soft palate?
Some diseases of the soft palate include infections such as tonsillitis or strep throat, inflammation like pharyngitis, and conditions like uvulitis (swelling of the uvula). Cancers can also affect the soft palate.
