What are two accessory processes of the lumbar vertebrae?
the transverse process and the articular process also spinous process
What part of the vertebrae provide levers against which muscles pull?
spinous process and transverse process
What provides an articulation point for the ribs?
transverse costal facets
What provides levers against which muscles pull in the vertebral column?
The skeletal system is the anchor and lever system that the muscles pull against to cause locomotion.spinous process and transverse processThe bones are the leavers against which the muscles pull.In reference to the axial skeleton, the spinous process and the transverse process are the leavers against which the muscles pull.Superior articular process
What is the difference between the cervical vertebrae and thoracic vertebrae and lumbar vertebrae?
The Cervical vertebrae obtain: - Bifid (meaning double) spinous processes - Foramina transversarium for passage of nerves and vessels - The body is a more oval shape - Do not articuate with the ribs The Thoracic vertebrae obtain: - Spinous process (singular) - No foramina transversarium - The body is a small semi-circular shape - Articulate with the ribs -Have demifacets for articulation with the ribs The Lumbar vertebrae obtain: - Spinous process (singular) - No transverse processes - The body is a large circular shape - Does not articulate with the ribs - Demonstrates a "Scotty Dog" when positioned for a left/right anterior/posterior oblique radiograph.
Which vertebra does not have a spinous process?
Cervical vertebrae have a bifurcated spinous process.
What characteristics help you distinguish between the different types of vertebrae?
Cervical Vertebrae- has transverse foramen, and a bifid tip of spinous process Thoracic Vertebrae- Has coastal facets on the sides of the body Lumar Vertebrae- has no transverse foramen, no bifurcated tip, and no facets on the sides of the body
What are the 3 processes found on the bone?
Most vertebrae have 3 processes. The spinous process, which is the one that comes straight off of your vertebral column, can actually be felt . You can feel this one particularly well at the base of your neck (this is the 7th Cervical vertebra, also known as Vertebra prominens). The very first vertebra, C1, also known at Atlas, does not have a spinous process. Each vertebra has two transverse processes which are on either side of the spinous processes. All of these processes are important for muscle attachments for movement of the head, neck and torso.
Which vertebrae does not have a body or spinous process?
Atlas (C1) does not have a spinous process or body
What are distinguishing features of a cervical vertebra?
Transverse foramina (on all cervical vertebrae) and bifid spinous process on C2-C6
What forms articulation point for the ribs?
Transverse Process and Spinous Process
Lamina?
The curved area between the spinous process and the transverse process.
