Therapy The therapy for cervical spine fractures is mainly used to restore and secure the posture and stability of the spine. In addition to the passive structures (bones, ligaments, joints), this is ensured by the autochthonous back muscles. This is the musculature that runs closely alongside the spine and connects and stabilizes individual vertebrae or … Therapy | Cervical spine fracture
Late effects In the case of a cervical spine fracture in children, a good diagnosis should be made immediately to safely visualize the fracture and initiate immediate therapy. In case of neurological involvement, rapid therapy is necessary. The healing of nerve tissue in children is usually even better than in adults, but a prognosis is … Late effects | Cervical spine fracture
A cervical spine fracture is a fracture in the uppermost section of the spine. The individual parts of a vertebra can fracture when violent force is applied. The form of the fracture then depends on the force applied. Changes in bone substance, such as osteoporosis or tumors, can also cause fractures of the cervical spine. … Cervical spine fracture
Symptoms In the case of a vertebral fracture, certain symptoms are to be expected. These include a local pressure pain in the fracture area, pain at rest, but especially during movement or stress. The surrounding musculature tenses up, resulting in severely restricted mobility. Crepitations may be audible during movement (crunching). A change in head posture … Symptoms | Cervical spine fracture
The anterior vagal trunk is a nerve branch of the vagus nerve involved in parasympathetic innervation of the stomach and liver. Thus, the visceromotor fibers of the nerve control portions of involuntary organ activity. Failure of the anterior vagal trunk leads to dysregulation of the liver and stomach. What is the anterior vagal trunk? The … Truncus Vagalis Anterior: Structure, Function & Diseases
The posterior vagal trunk is a nerve branch of the vagus nerve with involvement particularly in the parasympathetic innervation of the kidneys and stomach. The visceromotor fibers of the posterior vagal nerve partially control the involuntary organ activity of the abdominal organs. Failure of the posterior vagal trunk results in dysregulation of the kidneys and … Posterior Vagal Trunk: Structure, Function & Diseases
Egg joints are also known as elipsoid joints and are one of several types of joints in the human body. A concave articular surface with an oval end engages a larger socket in these joints. Osteoarthritis is one of the most important joint diseases. What is an egg yolk joint? Bones come together in joints … Egg Joint: Structure, Function & Diseases

The human body usually has between 32 – 34 vertebral bodies, in most cases 33. These vertebral bodies are … Vortex
Cervical vertebra The cervical spine is part of the human spine. It represents the connection between the head and the rest of the spine. There are a total of 7 different vertebrae that lie on top of each other. The first and second vertebrae play a prominent role. The first vertebra is called the atlas, … Cervical vertebra | Vortex
Thoracic vertebra The thoracic spine continues the cervical spine downward. It consists of 12 vertebrae which, although similar in structure to the cervical vertebrae, are much more massive in terms of their vertebral structure. One of the main reasons for this is that the thoracic spine must support a much greater mass than the cervical … Thoracic vertebra | Vortex
Lumbar vertebra The lumbar spine closes the spinal column at the bottom. The vertebral bodies are also known as vertebrae lumbales. Compared to the previous vertebrae, they are even more massive, corresponding to the further increase in body weight to be supported and the increased static demands.The posteriorly oriented processi spinosi (spinous processes) are flat … Lumbar vertebra | Vortex
Function The vertebrae form the spine and allow the trunk to move in all directions. Rotational movements (twisting) come especially from the cervical spine. Bending and stretching is mainly made possible by the lumbar spine. The vertebral arches protect the spinal cord from possible injuries. Via the intervertebral discs, shocks can be buffered.
