How many bones in cervical spine?
Seven. The first vertebra being the Atlas and the second being the Axis.
Where do the nerves that control the diaphragm exit the central nervous system?
The phrenic nerve is a mixed motor/sensory nerve that goes through the neck and thorax to the supply the diaphragm.It arises from the C3, C4 and C5 cervical nerve roots.
Is the cervical spine inferior to the lumbar spine?
No.The cervical spine is in the neck and is above the lumbar spine, which is in the low back. Because we reference things from anatomical position, which is standing upright, and because the term "inferior" is used to denote things that are below, that statement would be incorrect. Therefore, we could correctly say the cervical spine is superior, or rostral, to the lumbar spine. We could also say that the lumbar spine is inferior, or caudal, to the cervical spine.
What is the the different freely movable joints in your spine?
The spine is made up of boney vertebra: Cervical spine, Thoracic spine, and Lumbar spine.
Where in the spine do most injuries occur?
The cervical spine and the lumbar region. The cervical spine supports the head and is a major threat if injured trauma in this region (Above C3) can cause respiratory arrest.The lower back (lumbar spine) has the least structural support and endures the most strain, making it the most frequently injured area of the spine.The 12 vertebral bodies in the upper back make up the thoracic spine. The firm attachment of the rib cage at each level of the thoracic spine provides stability and structural support and allows very little motion, which means that thoracic disc injuries are rare.
Can nausea be caused from a pinched nerve in the cervical spine?
Yes. Nausea can be caused by entrapment or irritation of the vagus nerve which itself travels a long meandering path from the brain to deep within the gut.
Why does one need to undergo a cervical spine surgery?
Cervical spine surgery is a surgery that one might require if they are suffering from degenerative disorders, or trauma. The goal of the surgery is to relieve weakness, numbness and pain and restore nerve function.
Trapped nerve in your neck?
Better referred to as a cervical radiculopathy, although some will say it is a trapped nerve or a pinched nerve. There 8 nerves that come out of either side (right or left) of your neck or cervical spine. Because they come out of the cervical spine they are named from top to bottom C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, C7, & C8.
Do all cervical discectomies require a fusion as well?
Cervical discectomies are done for cervical spine arthritis called as spondylosis. They are also done for compression of the spinal cord or a nerve root. If the discectomy is done from the front of the cervical spine, fusion is generally done. if the patient is young and disease is at single level, cervical disc replacement can also be done to avoid fusion and preserve motion, but studies say the outcomes are the same with both the procedures. If the nerve root compression is the only problem then the nerve root decompression can also be done by what is called as cervical formainotomy where the spine is approached from the back. If this procedure is done fusion is not necessary.
What does the medical abbreviation c-spine mean?
c-spine means cervical spine, and cervical means neck.
What is evidence of nerve entrapment exacerbated by lumbar extension hip extension and lateral flexion of the lumbar spine?
A "pinched nerve" that gets worse if the patient bends backwards, puts one foot behind the other, or bends sideways.
Were is scoliosis located in the spine?
Scoliosis can be located in the cervical, thoracic or lumbar area of the spine Cervical = neck Thoracic = mid spine Lumbar = lower spine
How many bones in cervical spine?
Seven. The first vertebra being the Atlas and the second being the Axis.
Could a neck injury result in cervical radiculitis?
Cervical radiculitius can be caused by a neck injury but, is not always associated with one. It is caused by an impact to the neck OR repeated bending of the neck. I have it and all of a sudden I woke up with my neck sideways and extreme nerve pain in my right arm. Hope this helps.
What does multifocal bulging of the annulus fibrosis mean?
The annulus is a part of the spinal structure, specifically the outer fibers. When the annulus is damages, normally through aging (degenerative) or trauma, it allows the cervical disc, a gel-like material to expand. The more damage to the annulus, the more significant the bulge. In the worst cases, the disc "herniates" and may cause pressure on the nerve roots which run through the spine. In the neck (cervical spine), effected nerves run to the upper extremities. Therefore, if a bulging disc impinges on a nerve root in the cervical spine, it usually results in radiating pain, numbness and/or weakness in the arms. Surgery is sometimes necessary to remove the disc or otherwise relieve the pressure on the nerve root.
Where do the nerves that control the diaphragm exit the central nervous system?
The phrenic nerve is a mixed motor/sensory nerve that goes through the neck and thorax to the supply the diaphragm.It arises from the C3, C4 and C5 cervical nerve roots.
What is the weakest area of the spine?
Cervical
