What does C1 C2 and C3 control?

C1, C2, and C3 (the first three cervical nerves) help control the head and neck, including movements forward, backward, and to the sides. 1. The C2 dermatome handles sensation for the upper part of the head, and the C3 dermatome covers the side of the face and back of the head.

Is there a disc between C2 and C3?

Starting at C2-C3, an intervertebral disc sits between each vertebra. Intervertebral discs are pillow-like structures, with a tough outer ring (the annulus fibrosus) and a dense, jelly-like center (nucleus pulposus). They function as flexible pivots to help provide motion between the vertebrae.

What is fusion of C2 and C3 vertebrae?

Fused C2 and C3 vertebrae. FCV, also known as block vertebra may be congenital (chorda dorsalis) or acquired (juvenile rheumatoid arthritis or trauma or infections). It has an incidence of 0.4–0.7% and may affect any segment of the vertebral column but more commonly seen to affect the cervical vertebrae.

What nerves are affected by C2 and C3?

C1, C2, and C3 (the first three cervical nerves) control the head and neck, including movements forward, backward, and to the sides. These nerves also play key roles in breathing. The C2 dermatome handles sensation for the upper part of the head, and the C3 dermatome covers the side of the face and behind the head.

Can C1 and C2 cause headaches?

Role of Spinal Nerves C1, C2 and/or C3 may be involved in development of cervicogenic headaches because these nerves enable function (movement) and sensation of the head and neck. Nerve compression can cause inflammation and pain.

What causes fusion of cervical vertebrae?

This occurs when the vertebrae (spinal bones) actually grow together fusing the spine due to calcification of the ligaments and discs between each vertebrae. If the vertebrae fuse together, the spine is robbed of mobility, leaving the vertebrae brittle and vulnerable to fractures.
