- Following the directions of the discussion board regarding images, create your own labeled illustrations or models of a vertebra(e) coloring and labeling
ONLY the 1. Vertebral foramen and its content; 2. Vertebral canal and its content; 3. Intervertebral foramina and their contents, and 4. Intervertebral discs.
Additional Questions:
What are the anatomical boundaries of these openings: vertebral foramen, the vertebral canal, and the intervertebral foramina? 2. What structure passes
through each of these openings/canal? 3. Describe the structure, location, and function of the intervertebral discs. 4. Highlight the anatomical relationship
and clinical importance of the intervertebral disc with the intervertebral foramina and their content; referring to how the content of the intervertebral foramina
can be affected by herniations of the intervertebral disc. 5. Based on the specific structures innervated (supplied) by the nerves of both the cervical and
lumbar spinal cord segments, infer the clinical consequences of a herniated disc at the level of L3-L4. Contrast these findings if the herniated disc was found
at C7-C8.
