Across
  1. 3. This process gives the upper part of the vertebrae a concave shape in the frontal plane
  2. 6. This muscle acts to unilaterally sideband the neck or bilaterally protract the neck
  3. 10. This ligament runs from supraspinous ligament of C7 up to occipital protuberance to resist cervical flexion
  4. 11. (abbreviation) this ligament resists cervical extension
  5. 13. Attaches anteriorly from C3-C6 transverse processes up to occipital bone
  6. 14. This portion of the cervical spine has the most amount of sagittal plane motion
  7. 15. This muscle acts to elevate the upper ribs and/ or ipsilaterally sidebends the neck
Down
  1. 1. To assess the MMT of this muscle, flex the neck, sideband to contralateral side, and rotate ipsilaterally
  2. 2. This muscle spans the entire cervical column on the anterior surfaces of vertebral bodies and work bilaterally to flex the cervical spine
  3. 4. The shape of the annulus fibrosis in the cervical spine
  4. 5. This membrane is an extension of the posterior longitudinal ligament that runs to occiput
  5. 7. The vertebral artery runs through this foramen
  6. 8. This foramen is closed with ipsilateral cervical rotation
  7. 9. (abbreviation) This ligament contained the posterolateral aspect of the disc in cervical spine
  8. 12. This joint is oriented 45deg in the sagittal plane
