  2. Ligamenta flava - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ligamenta_flava

    [2] [3] In the neck region the ligaments are thin, but broad and long; they are thicker in the thoracic region, and thickest in the lumbar region. They are thinnest between the atlas bone (C1) and the axis bone (C2), and may be absent in some people. They become longer inferiorly in the cervical spine, as the distance between adjacent laminae ...

  3. Denticulate ligaments - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denticulate_ligaments

    The bases of denticulate ligaments arise in the pia mater and are firmly attached to the arachnoid mater and dura mater at the apex. [2] The denticulate ligaments extend across the subarachnoid space between anterior nerve roots and posterior nerve roots, piercing the intervening spinal arachnoid mater to reach the dura.

  4. Lumbar triangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lumbar_triangle

    Of the two, the superior triangle is the more consistently found in cadavers [2] and is more commonly the site of herniation; however, the inferior lumbar triangle is often simply called the lumbar triangle, perhaps owing to its more superficial location and ease in demonstration.

    The spine is one of the main components of the central nervous system (CNS). This structure's function is to provide the body with support and to protect the spinal cord. The spinal cord serves 3 main functions for the body. It provides sensation, autonomic and motor control for all bodily functions and parts.

  6. Supraspinous fossa - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supraspinous_fossa

    The supraspinous fossa is bounded by the spine of scapula on the inferior side, acromion process on the lateral side and the superior angle of scapula on the superior side. Supraspinatus muscle originates from the supraspinous fossa. Distal attachment of the levator scapulae muscle is also on the medial aspect of the fossa.

  7. Anterior longitudinal ligament - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterior_longitudinal_ligament

    Inferiorly, it becomes continuous with the anterior sacrococcygeal ligament. [3] Superiorly, between the skull and atlas, the ligament is continuous laterally with the anterior atlantooccipital membrane. [4] The ligament is thick and slightly more narrow over the vertebral bodies and thinner but slightly wider over the intervertebral discs. [5]

  8. Posterior inferior iliac spine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posterior_inferior_iliac_spine

    The posterior inferior iliac spine (Sweeney's Tubercle) is an anatomical landmark that describes a bony "spine", or projection, at the posterior and inferior surface of the iliac bone. It is one of two such spines on the posterior surface, the other being the posterior superior iliac spine. These two spines are separated by a bony notch.

  9. Anatomical terms of neuroanatomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomical_terms_of_neuro...

    "Superior" and "inferior" are adjectives from human anatomy, respectively meaning towards to top of the head or the soles of the feet when standing. The brain is superior to the spinal cord in people, but in quadrupeds the brain is anterior (forward in motion) to the spinal cord.
