  2. Luschka's joints - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luschka's_joints

    They allow for flexion and extension and limit lateral flexion in the cervical spine. Pathological processes that can occur in these joints include degenerative changes or hypertrophic arthritis, resulting in foraminal stenosis and nerve compression. Foraminal stenosis at this joint is the most common cause of cervical nerve root pressure.

  3. Spinal posture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinal_posture

    Looking directly at the front or back of the body, the 33 vertebrae in the spinal column should appear completely vertical. From a side view, the cervical (neck) region of the spine (C1–C7) is bent inward, the thoracic (upper back) region (T1–T12) bends outward, and the lumbar (lower back) region (L1–L5) bends inward.

  4. Cervical spine disorder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cervical_spine_disorder

    Cervical spine disorders are illnesses that affect the cervical spine, which is made up of the upper first seven vertebrae, encasing and shielding the spinal cord. This fragment of the spine starts from the region above the shoulder blades and ends by supporting and connecting the skull .

  5. Myodural bridge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myodural_bridge

    The myodural bridge or miodural ligament is a bridge of connective tissue that extends between the suboccipital muscles and the cervical spinal dura mater, [1] the outer membrane that envelops the spinal cord. It provides a physical connection between the musculoskeletal and nervous systems, and the circulation of cerebrospinal fluid. [2]

  6. Axis (anatomy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axis_(anatomy)

    In anatomy, the axis (from Latin axis, "axle") is the second cervical vertebra (C2) of the spine, immediately inferior to the atlas, upon which the head rests. The spinal cord passes through the axis. The defining feature of the axis is its strong bony protrusion known as the dens, which rises from the superior aspect of the bone.

  7. Spinal column - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinal_column

    The number of vertebrae in a region can vary but overall the number remains the same. In a human spinal column, there are normally 33 vertebrae. [3] The upper 24 pre-sacral vertebrae are articulating and separated from each other by intervertebral discs, and the lower nine are fused in adults, five in the sacrum and four in the coccyx, or tailbone.

  9. Spinal canal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinal_canal

    Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the canal which can occur in any region of the spine and can be caused by a number of factors. It may result in cervical myelopathy [4] if the narrowed canal impinges on the spinal cord itself. Spinal canal endoscopy can be used to investigate the epidural space, and is an important spinal diagnostic technique ...
