Testing Vertebral landmarks

The video tutorial provides an overview of the vertebral anatomy, focusing on key components such as the spinous process, transverse process, vertebral foramen, vertebral body, and pedicle. It also covers the superior articular facet, explaining its role and significance in the vertebral structure.

Which part of the vertebrae is responsible for providing a point of attachment for muscles and ligaments?

• Vertebral foramen

• Pedicle

• Vertebral body

• Spinous process

What is the function of the transverse process in the vertebrae?

• To support the weight of the body

• To protect the spinal cord

• To connect vertebrae to each other

• To serve as a point of attachment for muscles

What is the primary role of the vertebral foramen?

• To support the body's weight

• To connect the vertebrae

• To attach muscles

• To allow passage of the spinal cord

Which structure connects the vertebral body to the arch?

• Transverse process

• Spinous process

• Superior articular facet

• Pedicle

What is the function of the superior articular facet?

• To protect the spinal cord

• To allow articulation between vertebrae

• To attach ligaments

• To support the body's weight
