Big bodies
The lumbar vertebrae in the abdoninal region The segment, or group, of vertebrae that bear the most weight in the body is at the lumbosacral joint between lumbar vertebra number five (L5) and the sacrum.
The bodies of the lumbar vertebrae are larger to bear the weight and stress of the upper body and provide stability and support for movement. The lumbar spine is responsible for weight-bearing activities and requires larger vertebral bodies to prevent compression and provide structural support.
The lumbar region of the vertebral column contains 5 vertebrae (the bones of the spine).
The vertebral column is divided into five regions: cervical (neck), thoracic (chest), lumbar (lower back), sacral (pelvic), and coccygeal (tailbone). Each region has a specific number of vertebrae that provide support and flexibility to the spine.

Having 5 nonrib-bearing lumbar type vertebral bodies means that there are five vertebrae in the lumbar region that do not have ribs attached to them. The lumbar region is typically made up of five vertebrae labeled L1 to L5. The absence of ribs indicates that these vertebrae are located in the lower back and are not directly connected to the ribcage. This anatomical feature allows for flexibility and mobility in the lumbar spine.
the lumbar region
The presence of five nonrib-bearing lumbar vertebrae with intact pedicles indicates that these vertebrae are part of the lower back (lumbar region) of the spine and are structurally sound. Nonrib-bearing means they do not have ribs attached, which is typical for lumbar vertebrae. Intact pedicles suggest that there are no fractures or deformities in these supporting structures, contributing to the overall stability of the vertebral column. This condition is generally favorable for spinal health and function.

The sacrum and coccyx lie inferior to the lumbar vertebrae in the vertebral column.

Erector spinae are the muscles that move the vertebral column.It is the largest muscle mass of the back, forming a prominent bulge on either side of the vertebral column.It is the chief extensor of the vertebral column. It is also important in controlling flexion, lateral flexion and rotation of the vertebral column and in maintaining the lumbar curve, because the main mass of the muslce is in the lumbar region.Consists of: iliocostalis, longissimus and spinalis.Erector spinae are the muscles that move the vertebral column.
