Identify whether flexion or extension is occurring in the following situations: 1. Intervertebral foramen gets smaller
2. Anterior longitudinal ligament becomes taut .
3. Anterior annulus bulges slightly Spinous processes approximate
4. Facet joints compress
5. Posterior annulus becomes taut
6. Space for nerve roots gets larger
7. Superior vertebral body translates anteriorly

Explanation:

1. Intervertebral foramen gets smaller - Extension

2. Anterior longitudinal ligament becomes taut - Flexion

3. Anterior annulus bulges slightly Spinous processes approximate - Flexion

4. Facet joints compress - Extension

5. Posterior annulus becomes taut - Extension

6. Space for nerve roots gets larger - extension

7. Superior vertebral body translates anteriorly - flexion

where is the diagram?

if you insert the diagram ill be able to you

within 30 of the equator hope this
