An x-ray of the lumbar sacral show air along each side of the spine and was told there was no connection between the ligaments/tendons and the spine. What effect can that have?

What is the name of the large thick muscle located on either side of the lumbar vertebrae?

The large thick muscle located on either side of the lumbar vertebrae is called the erector spinae. Its main function is to extend and laterally flex the spine.


What structure connecting the pectoral muscle to the humerus?

The structure connecting the pectoral muscle to the humerus is the tendon of the pectoralis major muscle. This tendon attaches the muscle to the upper arm bone (humerus), allowing for movements like shoulder flexion, adduction, and medial rotation.


What muscles attaches to the lumbar vertebrae and femur?

The primary muscles that attach to the lumbar vertebrae and the femur include the psoas major and the iliacus, which together form the iliopsoas muscle. The psoas major originates from the lumbar vertebrae and inserts onto the lesser trochanter of the femur, playing a crucial role in hip flexion. Additionally, the quadratus lumborum muscle, which stabilizes the lumbar spine, indirectly influences the femur's position through its connection to the pelvis.


Is the strip of tissue connecting the kneecap to the thigh muscle an example of a tendon?

Yes, the strip of tissue connecting the kneecap to the thigh muscle is known as the patellar tendon, which is indeed an example of a tendon. Tendons are tough bands of connective tissue that connect muscles to bones, allowing for movement and stability in the body.

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!
