Vertebra in the spine. Contains the Axis and Atlas Allows for body rotation. Vertebra(T10-12) commonly to allow for rotation of the head. damaged in compression fracture. Lumbar Lordosis Sacral Kyphosi L1-L5 Provided most support for Anchor for the spinal column. Humans are born with 4-6 the back. Large vertebral body. sacral vertebra which fuse together. Most common site for disc Nerve roots S1-S4. prolapse.Anterior superior process Pedicle Transverse Process Lamina Superior articular Process Spinous Process Superior articular facetCervical Transverse foramen: From C1-C6 it contains Vertebral Artery Vertebral ein C7 Contains only the vertebral vein (not the artery). Instead the artery Only vertebrae with transverse foramen (contains vertebral artery and vein) Large Vertebral foramen Very small transverse processesThoracic Transverse processes (no articular processes) Larger vertebral body Has demi costal facets for articulation with the ribs Lumbar Have more prominent articular processes (to reach the vertebrae below as the lumbar spine is the widest) Largest vertebral body to provide the most support • Atlas (C1) Odontoid process (dens) • Axis (C2) Special Vertebrae Enables head rotation Ribs 1-7 Ture ribs As they attach directly to the sternum Ribs 8-12 False ribs Conjoin with other costal cartilages then insert onto sternum Ribs 11-12 Floating ribs Do not attach to sternum at all Q U E S T I O1N A 82 year old man with a history of prostate A Pedicle cancer presents with back pain. An x -ray is performed which reveals a winking owl sign. B Transverse process Which part of the C Spinous process vertebrae is damaged causing this feature of D Superior articular process the X -ray E Inferior articular process. Q U E S T I O 2 The winking owl is due to a spinal metastasis causing A Pedicle The degradation of the pedicle. B Transverse process C Spinous process D Superior articular process E Inferior articular process.Spinal cord anatomy Epineurium Perineurium Endoneurium The outermost layer of a nerve. Surrounds each fascicle. Contains the nerve cell itself. Made of collagen. Contains a bundle of nerves Surrounds each myelin sheath Forms from arachnoid mater and dura Between epineurium and perineurium Contains endoneurial fluid which acts mater when nerve leaves intervertebrathere is blood supply for the nerves. CSF in the peripheral nervous foramen. system. Protects nerves from longitudinal stress Fascicl Nerve Nerve cells within endoneurium Synaptic Transmission Ca2+ Ca2+ 1. Action Potential Arrives Ca2+ 2. Ca2+ enters via voltagegated calcium channels 3. Vesicles containing neurotransmitters e.g. Acetylcholine move to the cell surface membrane Synaptic Transmission Ca2+ 1. Neurotransmitter is released into synaptic cleft. Ca2+ 2. It binds to receptors on Postsynaptic membrane 3. Receptors cause Na+ channels to open to propagate a new action potential 4. Enzymes breakdown neurotransmitters e.g. Na+ Acetylcholinesterase, to reset the system. Depolarising vs Non depolarising neuromuscular blockers Anaesthesia Na+ Non Depolarising vs Depolarising neuromuscular blockers e.g. Atracurium e.g. suxamethonium - Are not broken down by acetylcholinesterase - Blocks acetylcholine - Overstimulated receptor - Prevents contraction/stimulus - No longer sensitive to Acetylcholine - Works in 2 -3 minutes - Initial contraction followed by paralysis - Works within 60 seconds, lasts 10m - Lasts 20-30 minutes - Action can be reversed with - ADR hyperkalaemia, malignant acetylcholinesterase inhibitors Hyperthermia - Not widely used due to side effects and action cannot be reversed Na+Seddon Sunderland Description Advancing Tinel's? Neurapraxia I Myelin damage No slowing conduction Axonotmesis II Damage to Yes Axon III Damage to Yes endoneurium IV Damage to No perineurium Neurotmesis V Complete No nerve division (including epineurium) Wallenberg's degeneration - The axon is degraded distal to the injury - Myelin sheath is then broken down - Macrophages infiltrate and clear debris - Then a new axon sprouts Occurs in nerve II,III.IV,V Q U E S T I O 1 Tommy was unfortunate to be in Wembley stadium A Sunderland type I during storm Eunice when a piece of debris from the roof fell and crushed his arm. B Sunderland type II A nerve is damaged. Tommy has no conduction in this nerve. C Sunderland type IV In a months time tommy seems to be improving. When his doctor taps his arm along the site of injury he now feels a tingling sensation 3cm D Sunderland type V distally than he did at the time of the injury. E Sunderland type IV What is the most likely diagnosis? ANSWER ON THE ZOOM POLLTommy has no conduction in this nerve. In a months time tommy seems to be improving. When his doctor taps his arm along the site of injury A Sunderland type I he now feels a tingling sensation 3cm distally than he did at the time of the injury. B Sunderland type II - This question refers to a patient with a nerve injury C Sunderland type IV affecting the axon as there is loss of conduction. - The second part of the question demonstrates a D Sunderland type V positive advancing Tinel's sign. Something that is only seen when the endoneurium is in tact. E Sunderland type IV Therefore this is axonotmesis with endoneurium and/perineurial damage, with an intact epineuriumSeddon Sunderland Description Advancing Tinel's?

Leads to deformed bones with sclerotic lesions (high density bone) and lytic lesions (low density bone) Symptoms: Bone pain, Deformity, Hearing loss (if ear bones affected) Complications: Osteosarcoma (dense bone cancer with poor prognosis) Spinal stenosis (narrowing of spinal canal) ofle ne pr Management: n bo NSAIDs, Bisphosphonates, Calcium, Vitamin D ALP o H i h Paget’s disease of the bone Slerotic lesions and Tam o’shanter sign due to frontal bone thickening Role of Parathyroid HormoneFrom diet, supplements and sunlight 2+ 3+ Increased Ca /PO 4 in blood for healthy Vitamin D3 new bone Liver converts Absorbs Ca and PO 43+from GI Calcidiol tract and Increases osteoclast Kidney converts activity Calcitriol Decreased and PO 3+ 4 in the blood 2+ Increases Ca in the blood Increases PO 43+excretion Increases osteoclast activity.

A Decreases Phosphate excretion B Decreases Sodium excretion C Increase osteocyte activity D Decrease Osteoblast activity E Decrease Osteoclast activity ANSWER ON THE ZOOM POLL Q U E S T I O3N What is the function of calcitonin? A Decreases Phosphate excretion B Decrease Sodium secretion Calcitonin inhibits osteoclastic activity. It has opposite effects to PTH and Vit D. C Increase osteocyte activity D Decrease Osteoblast activity E Decrease Osteoclast activity ANSWER ON THE ZOOM POLL Hyperparathyroidism Primary Hyperparathyroidism is due to a tumour causing increased PTH se->etion High calcium Secondary hyperparathyroidism is due to low Ca2+ so increased PTH secretion Tertiary hyperparathyroidism is due to long term low Calcium causing hyperplasia of the parathyroid gland (due to increased PTH secretion demand). When Ca2+ is corrected back to normal you get excess PTH secretion and high Ca2+ as a result. Q U E S T I 3 N A 60 year old male presents with bone pain.
