What features does cervical vertebrae from other vertebrae?
The Transverse foramina and the vertebral foramen All cervical vertebrae have 3 foramina (holes) -- 1 vertebral foramen and 2 transverse foramina. All other vertebrae have only 1 foramen, the vertebral.
What are distinguishing features of a cervical vertebra?

What is found only in the cervical vertebrae?
In the cervical and thoracic area of your spine. The cervical vertebrae starts right under your skull (following what's called the occipital foramen/foramen magnum). There are 7 cervical verterbrae and they end aproximatively under your neck (in the place where you feel a small circular prominence). Right under there are the thoracic vertebrae, in the number of 12. They end, let's say, at the upper part of your lower back.
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.
Where is the formina?
vertebrae Inter means "between", vertebral obviously means vertebrae as mentioned above, and foramina is plural for foramen, which is a hole. Intervertebral foramina are formed in the space between two vertebrae. When two or more vertebral bones are stacked, the intervertebral foramina would be inferior to the pedicles of the superior vertebrae and superior to the pedicles of the inferior vertebrae. It will create a hole that goes between the two vertebrae horizontally. The spinal cord goes through the vertebral foramen vertically, and the nerve roots slip out horizontally through the intervertebral foramina.
What part of the vertebral column contains transverse foramen?
Cervical vertebrae possess transverse foramina to allow for the vertebral arteries to pass through on their way to the foramen magnum to end in thecircle of Willis.
