Would it be correct to say "transverse of spinous process"??
Subject: Would it be correct to say "transverse of spinous process"??

He has a C5 fracture. Doctor is kind of mumbling so maybe it should be "transverse and spinous process."


Any help would be appreciated.Thanks


Each vertebra has 2 transverse processes and 1 spinous process.
Subject: Each vertebra has 2 transverse processes and 1 spinous process.

So, depending on what the doc says, the spinous process of C5 would be correct. Also, the spinous processes of the cervical spine would be a correct statement. Spinous process of the cervical spine would be incorrect as there are 7 cervical vertebral bodies with 3 processes each.

Subject: SMA-7 "CO2 30" ? by process of elimination... sm

SMA-7=sodium, potassium, chloride, bicarbonate (or CO2), glucose, BUN, creatinine. Glucose and bicarbonate are your missing values; 30 is a normal value for CO2...so my guess is they're saying "CO2 30" and leaving out the glucose value....
