- 1What are the functions of the vertebral column (axial skeleton)?- Attachment for skull
- integral component of thorax, pelvic girdle (supports & protects)
- movement/flexibility
-protects spinal cord - 2What are the boney aspects of the back?- Incl. primarily the vertebrae but also proximal elements of ribs, superior aspects of pelvic bones, and posterior basal regions of skull.
- 3What are vertebrae connected by?- Intervertebral discs
- Synovial joints
- Ligaments
- Muscles - 4Name the regions of the vertebral column and state how many vertebrae form each region and draw how the column curves.- Cervical (7)
- Thoracic (12)
- Lumbar (5)
- Sacral (5)
-Coccygeal (3-4)
- 5What features does a typical vertebrae have?- Body
- Spinous process
- Transverse process
- Superior (& inferior) articular processes
- pedicles
- Laminae
- Vertebral foramen - 6What joints do vertebrae have?- Intervertebral discs
- Facet joints
- 7What ligaments are involved with vertebrae?- Supraspinous ligament
- interspinous ligaments
- Ligamentum flavum
- Posterior longitudinal ligament
- Anterior longitudinal ligament - 8—


- 9Relate the spinal cord and vertebral column?- Spinal cord protected by vertebral column
- Spinal cord runs through stacked vertebral foramina
- Spinal nerves emerge from intervertebral foramina - 10Muscles in the back can be divided into two types of muscle, what are the names of these types?-Extrinsic muscles
- intrinsic muscles - 11Where do the extrinsic muscles insert?- Insertions on superior appendicular skeleton (superficial) and thorax (intermediate)
- 12What does the appendicular skeleton comprise?

- 13What are the basic functions of the extrinsic back muscles?- Upper limb movement (Superficial layer)
- Movements of thoracic wall -> respiration (intermediate layer) - 14What does the axial skeleton comprise?

- 15What nerves innervate the extrinsic muscles of the back?- Generally innervated by the anterior rami of spinal nerves
- 16The back muscles are divided into three groups, name these groups? How do these groups fit into the two types of muscle in the back?- Superficial (extrinsic)
- Intermediate (extrinsic)
- Deep (Intrinsic) - 17What nerves innervate the intrinsic muscles of the back?Posterior rami of spinal nerves
- 18What are the basic functions of the intrinsic muscles of the back?- Bilateral functions = extension (intermediate and deep)
- Unilateral functions = lateral flexion (intermediate and deep)
- Forming a 'bandage' structure which covers and holds deep neck muscles (superficial) - 19—
