What are the main parts of the vertebrae called?

Answer 1

The body of each vertebra is attached to a bony ring consisting of several parts. A bony projection on either side of the vertebral body called the pedicle supports the arch that protects the spinal canal. The laminae are the parts of the vertebrae that form the back of the bony arch that surrounds and covers the spinal canal. There is a transverse process on either side of the arch where some of the muscles of the spinal column attach to the vertebrae. The spinous process is the bony portion of the vertebral body that can be felt as a series of bumps in the center of a person's neck and back.

Answer 2

The spine is made up of individual vertebrae, thus, that is what "each part" is called, vertebrae.

Yes the individual bones of the spine are called verterbrae. If you are asking which parts make up the vertebrae, then here is your answer. The vertebrae are made up of the Body, the end plates, the pars interarticularis (long word, so we just call it the pars), the lamina and of course the spinous process. If you were asking what are the sections of the spine then that is a different answer. We have the cervical, Thoracic, Lumbar, Sacrum and the Coccyx (tail bone). I hope this helped you.

Answer 3

The main parts of the vertebrae are the vertebral body, vertebral arch, spinous process, transverse processes, and articular processes. The vertebral body is the thick, disc-shaped central portion, while the vertebral arch extends backward to enclose the spinal cord. The spinous process is the bony projection you can feel down the middle of your back, while the transverse processes extend out from the sides. Lastly, the articular processes form joints with adjacent vertebrae.

Answer 4

Body and arches. The arches are made of pedicles, transverse processes, a spinous process, and lamina.
