T11-12 and T12-L1 refer to the intervertebral disc spaces and the adjacent vertebrae in the thoracic and lumbar spine. T11-12 indicates the space between the 11th thoracic vertebra (T11) and the 12th thoracic vertebra (T12), while T12-L1 indicates the space between the 12th thoracic vertebra (T12) and the 1st lumbar vertebra (L1). These designations are important for assessing disc health, potential herniation, and other spinal conditions in those specific regions.

What is the Cervical spine range of motion?

The full possible Range Of Motion in the spine from fully extended to fully flexed is 250o (140o extension and 110o flexion) - however the only way to get full 140o extension is flip over backwards so your stomach is facing upwards and your hands and feet are both on the floor (make sense?), however the lumber spine only accounts for 95o of this motion (35o extension and 60o extension). The full possible lateral ROM the spine is 75o each way, however the lumber spine only accounts 20o of this.


Why is it easier to perform a lumber puncture on an adult?

Doctors are trained to perform lumbar punctures on adult. Their lumbar spine, which is where the needle is inserted, is naturally in a different position due to the height of an adult. Since children are smaller, and have a shorter spine, their lumbar spine is in a different position. It's not that much more difficult to do it on a child, the doctor just has to break from his natural thought process and locate the lumbar spine in a different position.


Why is a lumber puncture done in the small of the back?

The Lumbar Spine refers to the bottom six vertebrae in the spine. Most strain on the Lumbar spine occur between L4 and L6, where the back bows. This forces blood from the rest of the back to flow over to even-out the blood flow in the back. Therefore, the small of the back has minimal blood flow, making a puncture easier.

What are the bones in the spine?

The bones of the spine are called vertebrae. There are 33 total vertebrae in 5 regions: cervical (7), thoracic (12), lumbar (5), sacral (5), and coccygael (4). (The 5 bones of the sacral region are fused, as are the 4 bones of the coccygeal region.)


Another name for the spine?

Actually its still spine. The spine in anatomy is the combination of the vertebral column (the bone part) and the spinal chord (the nervous tissue part). that may be all right and so but there is still another wscientific word for spine and and that is dorsal and lumber vertebrate
