Does the thoracic and lumbar vertebra have a transverse foramina?
Wiki User
∙ 11y ago
A transverse foramen is located on the transverse process of cervicle vertebra.
The vertebral foramen is the large (more anterior) opening in the body of a vertebra through which the "spinal chord" passes.
when the vertebra are stacked in the vertebral column, the series of vertebral foramen is called the vertebral canal.

∙ 12y agoThe transverse foramina in cervical vertebrae are the structures that actually make the vertebraemost easily recognized as a cervical vertebrae rather than a thoracic or a lumbar vertebrae. The transverse foramen is lateral to the vertebral body, surrounded posteriorly and anteriorly by the transverse and coastal processes. Within a transverse foramen, the vertebral arteries and veins are protected by the two bony processes surrounding them, which is good since these arteries and veins provide blood flow to the brain.

Where is the cervical vertebrae located?
The thoracic vertebrae, of which there are 12.
What massive vertebra is weight-sustaining?
There are five lumbar vertebrae located in the lower back. These vertebrae receive the most stress and are the weight-bearing portion of the back. The lumbar vertebrae allow movements such as flexion and extension, and some lateral flexion. Thoracic vertebra Final Answer: lumbar vertebra
What are twelve components unfused called?
Thoracic Vertebra
Why the body of the lumbar vertebra is larger than that of the thoracic vertebra and in the thoracic vertebra more than in the cervical vertebra?
The thoracic spine has twelve vertebral bodies. These structures have very little motion because they are firmly attached to the ribs and sternum (breastbone). Distinguished by the presence of coastal facets for the articulation of the heads of ribs. Body is intermediate in size between the cervical and lumbar vertebrae The lumbar spine has five vertebral bodies that extend from the lower thoracic spine (upper back) to the sacrum (bottom of the spine). The vertebral bodies of the lower back are the largest of the spine because they bear the majority of the body's weight. The paired facet joints on the back of the vertebral segments are aligned so that they allow flexion/extension but not a lot of rotation. Does not have coastal facets nor transverse process foramina
Where do ribs form a joint with the thoracic vertebrae?
headThe pedicle of the rib articulates with the transverse process of the thoracic vertebra.
Articulate with the transverse process of the thoracic vertebrae?
Lumbar Vertebra
What are the vertebra types?
Cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral and coccygeal.
Where is the cervical vertebrae located?
The thoracic vertebrae, of which there are 12.
What is the passageway for vertebral arteries in cervical vertebrae?
The descending thoracic aorta passes down the thorax on the left side of the vertebrae.It enters in the diaphragm in the abdominal cavity called the aortic hiatus and then becomes the abdominal aorta.It then divides into the right and left common iliac arteries at the lower border of the 4th lumbar vertebra. Then divides again at the 5th and last lumbar intevertebral disc into the internal and external iliac artery.

How can you distinguish a lumbar vertebra from a cervical vertebra?
the nerve cord is enclosed while a invertabrae nerve is opened
What vertebra is considered as the largest in the human body?
The lumbar is the LARGEST, and the thoracic is the LONGEST
What are three types of vertebra?
cervical vertebrae thoracic vertebrae. lumbar vertebrae

Where do ribs form a joint with the thoracic vertebrae?
headThe pedicle of the rib articulates with the transverse process of the thoracic vertebra.
Articular facets on the transverse processes are characteristics of vertebrae?
The Thoracic Vertebrae have such features and are in the correct position to articulate with the ribs correctly (the cervical vertebra are too high to touch the ribs in the neck region, and the lumbar, sacral and coccyx are all too low to intersect the ribs!)Thoracic Vertebrae
