What is the function of mammillary process?
The primary function associated with the mammillary bodies is recollective memory. Memory information begins within the hippocampus. Theta waves activate CA3 neurons in the hippocampus.
Where is mammillary process?
lumbar vertebraeThe mamillary processes are located between transverse and cranial articular process on thoracic and lumbar vertebrae.
What is the Mamillary process in the vertebrae?
The mammillary process is a superior process on costal process connected in the lumbar region with the back part of the superior articular process.
What is mammillary process of lumbar vertebra?
The mamillary process is homologous with the superior tubercle in the twelfth thoracic vertebra. It gives attachment to the multifidus and to the medial intertransverse muscle. The accessory process varies in prominence and may be difficult to identify. It gives attachment to the medial intertransverse muscle.
What vertebrae has accessory and mammillary process?
Three portions or tubercles can be noticed in a transverse process of a lower lumbar vertebrae: the lateral or costiform process, the mammillary process, and the accessory process. The costiform is lateral, the mammillary is superior (cranial), and the accessory is inferior (caudal).
What is spinous process?
Spinous process: The spinous process is a piece of bone that comes off the back of the lamina at every level. It provides an attachment for muscles. When you feel down someone's back, the spinous processes are the bony bits that you can feel in the middle of their spine.
What is the difference between articular process and articular facet?
The articular processes or zygapophyses (Greek ζυγον = "yoke" (because it links two vertebrae) + απο = "away" + φυσις = "process") of a vertebra are projections of the vertebra that serve the purpose of fitting with an adjacent vertebra. The actual region of contact is called the articular facet.
How many spinous processes are there?
one spinous processSpinous and Transverse Processes On each vertebra, there are two transverse processes and one spinous process. The two transverse processes are located on either side of the ring, while the spinous process is located in the middle. These processes provide sites to which back muscles and ligaments attach.
Is a process the same as a facet?
The facet joint is the joint between the inferior articular process (labeled at bottom) and the superior articular process (labeled at top) of the subsequent vertebra.
What causes pain in the lumbar vertebrae?
Common causes of low back pain (lumbar backache) include lumbar strain, nerve irritation, lumbar radiculopathy, bony encroachment, and conditions of the bone and joints.
How many processes does a lumbar vertebrae have?
7 processesEach lumbar vertebra has a vertebral body and a vertebral arch. The vertebral arch consists of a pair of pedicles and a pair of laminae, which encircles the vertebral foramen that ultimately supports 7 processes.
Why is 5th lumbar atypical?
The fifth lumbar vertebra (L5) is the largest of the five lumbar vertebrae and is considered an atypical vertebra due to its shape.
