1)The anterior longitudinal ligament forms, in part, the anterior boundary of the spinal canal.
2)The superior and inferior vertebral notches form intervertebral foramina.
3)The anterior longitudinal ligament resists flexion of the back.
4)The denticulate ligaments are extensions of the arachnoidea.
5)The filum terminalis externus is derived from dura mater whereas the filum terminalis internus is derived from arachnoidea.
6)The dural sac extends inferiorly to the level of the 2nd and maybe 3rd lumbar vertebrae.
7)The internal anterior vertebral venous plexus is within the epidural fat.
8)The posterior vertebral venous plexus is within the subarachnoid space.
9)The internal vertebral venous plexus is valveless and, thus, provides part of a pathway for spread of infection from the ischiorectal fossa to the cranium.
10)The external vertebral venous plexus is demonstrated during dissection of the suboccipital region.
11)The spinal cord relies, in part, on radicular arteries for critical vascularization.
12)The intermediate muscles of the back are innervated by the long thoracic nerve.
13)Serratus posterior superioris pulls the upper ribs in the superior direction and is, thus, a muscle of inspiration.
14)Serratus posterior inferioris pulls the lower ribs downward and, thus, is a muscle of inspiration.
15)Paralysis of the rhomboids (dorsal scapular nerve) and the trapezius (spinal accessory nerve) is expected cause uncompensated loss of retraction of the scapula.
16)Latissimus dorsi, a powerful extensor of the arm, can act as a flexor when the arm is fully extended.
17)The transversospinal group of muscles are innervated by the dorsal rami (segmental) of spinal nerves.
18)The action of levator scapular is to depress the scapula.
19)The thoracolumbar fascia provides a site of origin for the rhomboids and the levator scapula.
20)The longissimus muscle extends as far superiorly as the mastoid process of the skull.
21)Iliocostalis attaches to the ribs along the costotransverse joints.
