[blank_start]Synovial Plane[blank_end] Joint
Question 10
Question
Intervertebral discs are composed of an outer fibrocartilage ring called the [blank_start]annulus fibrosus[blank_end] and an inner soft pulp called the [blank_start]nucleus pulposus[blank_end]
Answer
-
annulus fibrosus

nucleus pulposus
Question 11
Question
Ligaments of the Spine:
[blank_start]Supraspinous ligament[blank_end] Strong, fibrous tissue connecting the tips of adjacent spinous processes. Kind of like a pole.
[blank_start]Interspinous ligament[blank_end] Weak, membranous tissue connecting the superior and inferior surfaces of the spinous processes. Kind of like a curtain.
Answer
-
Supraspinous ligament
-
Interspinous ligament

Question 13
Question

Answer
-
Odontoid Process
-
synovial

Question
What is the anatomical location of the start of the spinal cord?
The [blank_start]Foramen Magnum[blank_end]
Question 16
