Dorsal Horn T4 --> Doral Root T4 --> Spinal Nerve T4 --> Ventral Ramus T4 --> Semispinalis Muscle T4
Ventral Horn T4 --> Ventral Root T4 --> Spinal Nerve T4 --> Dorsal Ramus T4 --> Semispinalis Muscle T4
Ventral Horn T4 --> Ventral Root T4 --> Spinal Nerve T4 --> Ventral Ramus T4 --> Semispinalis Muscle T4

Which of the following is the correct nerve pathway when stimulating the back overlying the site of the superior angle of the scapula
Dorsal Ramus L5 --> Spinal Nerve L5 --> Dorsal Root and DRG L5 --> Dorsal Horn of Spinal Cord at L5 Level
Ventral Horn L5 --> Ventral Root L5 --> Spinal Nerve L5 --> Dorsal Ramus L5 --> Skin of Back near Inferior Angle

Which curvature is most likely to be seen in the cervical spine?
Lordotic
Kyphotic
Which part of the vertebrae connects the body to the transverse process?
Facet Joint
Spinous Process
Lamina
Pedicle
Which of the following runs through the transverse foramen in the C-Spine?

Vertebral Arteries
Carotid Arteries
Spinal Nerves
Which of the following is false in regards to the Atlas? (Check all that apply)
It contains no spinous process
It has no vertebral body
It is a typical vertebrae
It is the strongest cervical vertebrae
The sacrum is made up of how many fused vertebrae?
3
4
5
6
What is the mostly likely reason that the cervical and lumbar foramen are larger than the thoracic foramen?
The cervical nerves supply the upper extremity and the lumbar nerve supply the lower extremity , so more space is needed to fit the enlarged spinal cord
The ribs press against the thoracic vertebrae, making the foramen smaller
Dr. Opett said so, so that's what I'm going with
The dura mater reproduces with scar tissue in these areas
Why could the layers of the anulus fibrosis cross in many different directions?
During development, cells are unsure on how to differentiate
The crossing of fibers makes the layer stronger to resist mechanical stresses and protect the nucleus propulsus
The crossing of the fibers weakest the IVD
It allows water to enter and exit the spinal column freely
Rotation is most restricted in which region of the spine?
Cervical
Thoracic
Lumbar
None of the above
The spinalis muscle is ______ to the iliocostalis muscle
Superficial
Deep
Medial
Lateral
The Rotator Muscles are _____ to the erector spinae
Superior
Inferior
Superficial
Deep
Flexion occurs in which plane of movement?
Transverse
Frontal
Coronal
Sagittal
