Spinal Anatomy
● Spine three major
components:
!
– Spinal column (i.e.,
bones and discs)
– neural elements (i.e.,
the spinal cord and
nerve roots)
– supporting structures
(i.e., muscles and
ligaments)

• 33 vertebrae !
• 23 intervertebral disks!

• Protection of
– spinal cord and nerve roots
Functions of the Spine
– internal organs
Spinal Nerve Topography
31 pairs of spinal nerves
• 8 cervical

Spinal Cord
Foramen
magnum
• Extends from foramen magnum to
L1
• Terminates at the
conus medularis
• The cauda equina begins
below L1
• Filum terminale extends from
conus medularis to the coccyx
Conus
medularis
Cauda
equina
● Beyond L1 the spinal cord becomes the Cauda Equina
● Beyond L1 the spinal cord becomes the Cauda Equina
Batson’s Plexus
Because of the azygos
system, patient positioning is
very important in posterior
lumbar spine surgery.
Patient’s abdomen should
always hang free and without
abdominal pressure. An increase
in pressure will diminish flow
through the azygos system and
the vena cava. This results in an
increase of venous flow into
Batson’s plexus with a
corresponding increase of blood
loss.
Batson’s
plexus
Azygos system also communicates with a valveless venous
network known as BATSON’S PLEXUS. When the vena cava is
partially or totally occluded, Batson’s plexus provides an
alternate route for blood return to the heart.
Dr.Sandeep C Agrawal Agrasen Hospital Gondia India
Autonomic Nervous System
SYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM:
!
Injury to the sympathetic nerve chain in the
lumbar spine may result in genitourinary
problems for the patient.
!
!
Each sympathetic ganglion has fibers that
join to the adjacent spinal nerve.
!
!
!
PARASYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM has
ganglia located close to the organs they control.
• Flexibility of motion in six degrees of freedom
Functions of the Spine
Left and Right
Side Bending
Flexion and Extension Left and Right Rotation
• Structural support and
balance for upright posture
The spine is the axle bearing the
load of the head, shoulders and
thorax. The upper body weight is
then distributed to the lower
extremities through the sacrum and
pelvis.
This reduces the amount of work
required by the spinal muscles and
can eliminate muscle fatigue and
back pain.
Functions of the Spine
• Line of gravity
Auricle of the
ear
Odontoid
Body of C7
Anterior to thoracic
spine
Posterior to L3
Mid femoral heads
Dr.Sandeep C Agrawal Agrasen Hospital Gondia India
Intervertebral Disks:
!
• Collagen fibers of anulus fibrosus are
arranged in sheets: lamellae
• Concentric rings surrounding nucleus
15
● No discs between the Atlas (C1), Axis (C2), sacrum
and Coccyx.
● Discs are not vascular and therefore depend on the
end plates to diffuse needed nutrients

Sacral Hiatus
Dr.Sandeep C Agrawal Agrasen Hospital Gondia India
!
Lumbosacral articulation:!
• 5th lumbar vertebra and 1st sacral segment. !
• 1st sacral segment is inclined slightly anteriorly and
inferiorly, forms an angle with horizontal: lumbosacral
angle
35
Dr.Sandeep C Agrawal Agrasen Hospital Gondia India
• Increase in angle : increase in lumbar lordosis !
• Increase shearing stress at lumbosacral joint
36
Dr.Sandeep C Agrawal Agrasen Hospital Gondia India
❖ Anterior longitudinal ligament
is strong and well developed in
this region
!
!
❖Posterior Longitudinal Ligament
is only a thin ribbon in lumbar
region, whereas ligamentum flavum
is thickened here
38
Dr.Sandeep C Agrawal Agrasen Hospital Gondia India
• Flexion generates compression forces on
anterior side of disc tending to migrate nucleus
pulposus posteriorly!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
• Limited by tension in posterior annulus fibrosus and
posterior ligament system
39
Dr.Sandeep C Agrawal Agrasen Hospital Gondia India
• Increase in lumbar lordosis!
• Posterior tilting , gliding of superior vertebra!
• Lumbar extension reduces the diameter of !
intervertebral foramina
Lumbar Extension:
Dr.Sandeep C Agrawal Agrasen Hospital Gondia India
• Fewer ligaments checks extension!
!
• During lumbar extension nucleus pulposus displaces
anteriorly
Dr.Sandeep C Agrawal Agrasen Hospital Gondia India
!
Lumbo-pelvic rhythm:!
!
• The kinematic relationship between!
lumbar spine !
and !
hip joints !
during sagittal plane movements
42
Dr.Sandeep C Agrawal Agrasen Hospital Gondia India
• Bending forward- lumbar flexion (40⁰) followed by !
anterior tilting of pelvis at hip joint (70⁰)!
!
• Return to erect- posterior tilting at pelvis at hips
followed !
by extension of lumbar spine
43
Dr.Sandeep C Agrawal Agrasen Hospital Gondia India
!
PARS INTERARTICULARIS FRACTURES:!
• Region between superior and inferior articular facets!
• Weakest bony portion of vertebral neural arch

  • 2. Spinal Anatomy ● Spine three major components: ! – Spinal column (i.e., bones and discs) – neural elements (i.e., the spinal cord and nerve roots) – supporting structures (i.e., muscles and ligaments) 2
  • 3. Dr.Sandeep C Agrawal Agrasen Hospital Gondia India ! • 33 vertebrae ! • 23 intervertebral disks! ! ! ! • Primary curves! • Secondary curves 3 OSTEOLOGY
  • 4. Sagittal Plane Curves Cervical Lordosis 20°- 40° Sacral Kyphosis Lumbar Lordosis 30°- 50° Thoracic Kyphosis 20°- 40°
  • 5. • Protection of – spinal cord and nerve roots Functions of the Spine – internal organs
  • 6. Spinal Nerve Topography 31 pairs of spinal nerves • 8 cervical • 12 thoracic • 5 lumbar • 6 sacrococcygeal
  • 7. Spinal Nerves Spinal cord Epidural space Dura mater and Arachnoid layers Subarachnoid space Dorsal root Ventral root Dorsal root ganglion Peripheral nerve
  • 8. Spinal Nerve Structures Spinal Cord Foramen magnum • Extends from foramen magnum to L1 • Terminates at the conus medularis • The cauda equina begins below L1 • Filum terminale extends from conus medularis to the coccyx Conus medularis Cauda equina ● Beyond L1 the spinal cord becomes the Cauda Equina
  • 9. ● Beyond L1 the spinal cord becomes the Cauda Equina
  • 10. Batson’s Plexus Because of the azygos system, patient positioning is very important in posterior lumbar spine surgery. Patient’s abdomen should always hang free and without abdominal pressure. An increase in pressure will diminish flow through the azygos system and the vena cava. This results in an increase of venous flow into Batson’s plexus with a corresponding increase of blood loss. Batson’s plexus Azygos system also communicates with a valveless venous network known as BATSON’S PLEXUS. When the vena cava is partially or totally occluded, Batson’s plexus provides an alternate route for blood return to the heart.
  • 11. Dr.Sandeep C Agrawal Agrasen Hospital Gondia India Autonomic Nervous System SYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM: ! Injury to the sympathetic nerve chain in the lumbar spine may result in genitourinary problems for the patient. ! ! Each sympathetic ganglion has fibers that join to the adjacent spinal nerve. ! ! ! PARASYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM has ganglia located close to the organs they control.
  • 12. • Flexibility of motion in six degrees of freedom Functions of the Spine Left and Right Side Bending Flexion and Extension Left and Right Rotation
  • 13. • Structural support and balance for upright posture The spine is the axle bearing the load of the head, shoulders and thorax. The upper body weight is then distributed to the lower extremities through the sacrum and pelvis. This reduces the amount of work required by the spinal muscles and can eliminate muscle fatigue and back pain. Functions of the Spine
  • 14. • Line of gravity Auricle of the ear Odontoid Body of C7 Anterior to thoracic spine Posterior to L3 Mid femoral heads
  • 15. Dr.Sandeep C Agrawal Agrasen Hospital Gondia India Intervertebral Disks: ! • Collagen fibers of anulus fibrosus are arranged in sheets: lamellae • Concentric rings surrounding nucleus 15
  • 16. ● No discs between the Atlas (C1), Axis (C2), sacrum and Coccyx. ● Discs are not vascular and therefore depend on the end plates to diffuse needed nutrients
