The anterior superior iliac spine refers to the anterior extremity of the iliac crest of the pelvis. This is a key surface landmark, and easily palpated. It provides attachment for the inguinal ligament, the sartorius muscle, [1] [4] and the tensor fasciae latae muscle. [2] [3]
Spinal cord injuries can be divided into categories: complete transection, hemisection, central spinal cord lesions, posterior spinal cord lesions, and anterior spinal cord lesions. Scalloping vertebrae is the increase in the concavity of the posterior vertebral body. It can be seen on lateral X-ray and sagittal views of CT and MRI scans.
In human anatomy, the anterior spinal artery is the artery that supplies the anterior portion of the spinal cord. ... brain stem and upper spinal cord (inferior view).
The location of motor neurons in the anterior grey column of the spinal cord. The anterior grey column, (also known as the anterior horn of spinal cord and anterior cornu) is broad and of a rounded or quadrangular shape. Its posterior part is termed the base, and its anterior part the head, but these are not differentiated from each other by ...
Articulations of pelvis. Anterior view. Articulations of pelvis. Posterior view. Sacroiliac joints are paired C-shaped or L-shaped joints capable of a small amount of movement [2] (2–18 degrees, which is debatable at this time) that are formed between the auricular surfaces of the sacrum and the ilium bones.
The anterior median fissure of the spinal cord is a deep midline groove of the anterior spinal cord. [1]: 486 It divides the white matter of the anterior spinal cord nearly in two. [1]: 487 The spinal pia mater extends into the fissure to line the surfaces of the spinal cord. [1]: 453
In the human vertebral column, the size of the vertebrae varies according to placement in the vertebral column, spinal loading, posture and pathology. Along the length of the spine, the vertebrae change to accommodate different needs related to stress and mobility. [1] Each vertebra is an irregular bone. Side view of vertebrae
Two of the five sensory modalities, pain and temperature, cross sides at the anterior white commissure, reaching the contralateral side about two vertebral levels rostral to their origin. The spinothalamic tract thus decussates very soon after entering the spinal cord, ascending in the spinal cord, contralateral to the side from where it ...
