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.
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.
What are distinguishing features of a cervical vertebra?
Transverse foramina (on all cervical vertebrae) and bifid spinous process on C2-C6
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 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 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 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 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.
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.
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
