1. Skeletal Anatomy
Neck and Spine

2. Bellwork
Complete only the B portion of the BLT chart writing what you know about the neck and spine. Then put BLT chart aside until the end of the lesson.

3. Objective
Recognize relevant skeletal anatomy for the neck and spine

4. Write-Pair-Share
Write a list of all the skeletal structures of the neck and spine that you can recall from previous lessons
Share with a partner
Be ready to share with the class

5. Terminology Vertebrae- The bones making up the spinal column
Cervical- The seven vertebrae that make up the upper most region of the spine
Thoracic- Pertaining to the chest region of the body
Lumbar- The five vertebrae that make up the low back
Sacrum- The bottom most segment of the spine which consist of bones that are fused
Coccyx- Three to four very small vertebrae also called the “Tail Bone”
Body of vertebrae- Anterior portion of vertebrae
Spinous Process- Posterior portion of vertebrae
Transverse Process- Lateral portion of vertebrae

6. Terminology continued
Vertebral Foramen- Hole or space where spinal cord runs
Intervertebral Disc- Cartilage cushioning between vertebrae
Vertebral Column- The skeletal spine
Nerve Root- Opening on the lateral side of vertebrae where peripheral nerves leave the spinal column
Spinal Cord- Portion of the central nervous system that is contained within the vertebral foramen.

10. Cervical Spine Vertebral Column Cervical (7) C1-Atlas C2-Axis
Allow for rotation

11. Cervical Spine Vertebral Column Cervical (7) Cartilaginous joints
Vertebral discs
Foramen for the spinal cord

12. Cervical Spine Vertebral Column
Highly mobile to allow for flexion, extension, rotation, circumduction & lateral bending

13. Thoracic Spine Vertebral Column Thoracic (12) Articulate with the ribs
Also highly moveable
Rotation, flexion, extension
Abnormal curvatures

14. Thoracic Spine Vertebral Column Thoracic Abnormal Curvatures Scoliosis
Lateral curvature
Kyphosis
Posterior curvature

15. Thoracic Spine Vertebral Column Thoracic Foramen for the spinal cord
Distinguished by long transverse processes

16. Lumbar Spine Vertebral Column Lumbar (5) Largest bones
Trunk flexion & extension
Anterior curve
Lordosis

Numbered Heads 4
4. Numbered Heads
students number off in a group from 1 to 4
teacher poses a question
group discusses the answer
teacher selects a number from 1 to 4 and asks all students who represent that number to raise their hand
teacher calls on a non-volunteer or uses a random method to generate a number such as rolling die
teacher provides feedback
Student Number 1-4 Be able to identify the skeletal structure that the teacher is pointing to on the model or diagram.
