Mention 2 important feature of lumbar vertebrae?
Lumbar vertebrae have a lot of important functions, two of which are the cushioning of the spine and the structure of the back itself. Lumbar vertebrae are part of possibly the most important bone group in the body.
What is Mild levo rotoscoliosis of mid and lower lumbar?
Curvature of the vertebral column resulting from the column turning on its axis. The upper two vertebrae in the cervical spine, the atlas and the axis, differ from the other vertebrae because they are designed specifically for rotation. These two vertebrae are the reason your neck can move in so many directions. Mid Spine = Thoracic Lumbar Spine = Below the Thoracic vertebraes - your lumbar spine consists of 5 discs/vertebrae.
What is mild levoconvex scoliosis of the mid lumbar spine?
Curvature of the vertebral column resulting from the column turning on its axis. The upper two vertebrae in the cervical spine, the atlas and the axis, differ from the other vertebrae because they are designed specifically for rotation. These two vertebrae are the reason your neck can move in so many directions. Mid Spine = Thoracic Lumbar Spine = Below the Thoracic vertebraes - your lumbar spine consists of 5 discs/vertebrae.
What is L1L2 level is unimpressive?
The area around the topmost two lumbar vertebrae looks normal.
Are the first two vertebrae the only ones with names?
No, all of the vertebrae in the spine have names. In addition to the first two vertebrae (C1 and C2), the other vertebrae are named based on their location: cervical (C3-C7), thoracic (T1-T12), lumbar (L1-L5), sacral (S1-S5), and coccygeal (Co1-Co4).
What is the name of the two lateral processes in the vertebrae and what is their function?
The two lateral processes in a vertebrae are called transverse processes. Their main function is to provide attachment points for muscles and ligaments that help stabilize and move the spine.
How many vertebrae makes up the spine?
it sometimes depends on the person, but there are roughly 33 in the average personit also depends what you count as vertabrae, as some people might tell you just 24Individual vertebrae named according to region and position, from superior to inferiorCervical - 7 vertebrae (C1-C7) C1 is known as "atlas" and supports the head, C2 is known as "axis"Possesses bifid spinous processes, which is absent in C7Small-bodiedThoracic - 12 vertebrae (T1-T12) Distinguished by the presence of coastal facets for the articulation of the heads of ribsBody is intermediate in size between the cervical and lumbar vertebraeLumbar - 5 vertebrae (L1-L5) Has a large bodyDoes not have coastal facets nor transverse process foraminaSacral - 5 (fused) vertebrae (S1-S5)Coccygeal - 4 (3-5) (fused) vertebrae (Tailbone)
What are the two sections of the spine that consist of fused bones?
The two sections of the spine that consist of fused bones are the sacrum, which is formed by the fusion of five sacral vertebrae, and the coccyx, which is formed by the fusion of four coccygeal vertebrae.
What is the name of the two lateral processes in the vertebrae?
The two lateral processes in the vertebrae are called the transverse processes. These bony projections extend laterally from the vertebral arch and serve as attachment points for muscles and ligaments, as well as articulation points for the ribs in the thoracic region.
Does the thoracic and lumbar vertebra have a transverse foramina?
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.
How many vertebra do human have?
Humans typically have 33 vertebrae, but only 24 of these are movable. The first 7 are cervical vertebrae in the neck, followed by 12 thoracic vertebrae in the mid-back, and 5 lumbar vertebrae in the lower back. Below the lumbar region are the sacrum and coccyx, which are fused vertebrae.
What are the 26 small backbones?
Typically there are 7 vertebrae in the neck called cervical vertebrae. They are commonly called C1-C7. The first cervical vertebra is also called the atlas, and the second, the axis. Typically there are twelve thoracic vertebrae to which the ribs attach. Typically there are five lumbar vertebrae in the lower back. Caudal ('toward the tail' or below in the standing position) to the lumbar vertebrae is the sacrum. Caudal the the sacrum is the coccyx. It is often called the tailbone. Commonly, the coccyx is formed by two or three segments. Many people have a sixth lumbar vertebra which is usually a part of the sacrum which did not fuse to the other segments of the sacrum during development. Sometimes a vertebra, usually a thoracic vertebra, fully develops on only one side, so one might say there are 12 vertebrae on one side, and 11 on the other. That is called a hemivertebra. Sometimes 2 vertebrae are fused together, making one bone instead of two.
