| What make up the atlanto-occipital joint and it's function? | Occiput and C1 It allows flexion/extension of skull |
| What is the atlantoaxial joint and it's function? | C1 and C2 It allows flexion, extension, lateral flexion, and rotation of the cervical spine. |
| Where is the anterior longitudinal ligament and it's purpose? | It covers the anterior aspect of the vertebral disk from body to body. It prevents excessive extension of the spine and protects disk from popping out anteriorly. |
| Where is the posterior longitudinal ligament and it's purpose? | It covers the posterior aspect of the vertebral disk from body to body. It prevents excessive flexion of the spine and protects disk from popping out posteriorly. |
| What are the osteokinematic motion of the cervical spine? | Flexion Extension Lateral flexion Rotation |
| What is the loose pack position of the cervical spine? | Midway between flexion and extension. |
| What is the close pack position of the cervical spine? | extension |
| What is the capsular pattern of the cervical spine? | Lateral flexion Rotation Extension |
| What are the osteokinematic motion of the thoracolumbar spine? | Flexion Extension Lateral flexion Rotation |
| What is the loose pack position of the thoracolumbar spine? | Midway between flexion and extension |
| What is the close pack position of the thoracolumbar spine? | Extension |
| What is the capsular pattern of the thoracolumbar spine? | Lateral flexion Rotation Extension |
| What nerve roots make up the lumbar plexus? | T12, and L1-L4 |
| What are the two most important nerves to remember for the lumbar plexus? | Obturator and femoral nerve |
| What nerve roots make up the sacral plexus? | S1-S3 and descending S4 |
| What is the most important nerve to remember for the sacral plexus? | Sciatic nerve |
