What is ligamentum flavum?
The ligamentum flavum is a tendon that holds your vertebrae to each other.
What connects the vertebrae to each other?
The anterior articulating facets. (That's where the joints are. What keeps them from coming apart is ligaments and muscles.)
What can you find between each pair of vertebrae?
A disc
What is attached to the backbone?
The backbone is actually a collection of spinal vertebrae, each connected to each other with a fibrous disk. On the top end, the spinal vertebrae are connected to the cervical (neck) vertebrae and then to the base of the skull. On the lower end the spinal vertebrae connect to the coccyx or tailbone which is essentially 5 fused spinal vertebrae and the central part of the pelvis (hip bone). The lower portion of the spine called the lumbar region does not connect to any additional bones. In the upper portion of the spine called the thoracic region each vertebrae also connects to two ribs. Other than connecting to additional bones, there are numerous muscles, tendons, and blood vessels that also connect to the spine. Other than the structural and limited movement role of the spine, it also serves as a vital protective role for the spinal cord which leads to all the peripheral nerves of the body.
Why are there discs of cartilage between the bones in the vertebral column?
The reason there are discs of cartilage between the bones in the vertebral column is because it is to cushion the vertebrae from grinding against each other, which is what happens when arthritis/age sets in, causing the discs of cartilage to erode and letting the vertebrae grind against each other/crush the spinal cord, causing pain and/or paralysis
What are The parts of the thoracic vertebrae that articulate with the ribs are?
The ribs articulate with the thoracic vertebrae. The thoracic vertebrae also articulate with each other.
What separates adjacent vertebrae and soften the forces created by walking?
Intervertebral disc separates adjacent vertebral bodies.
Why does each vertebrae need to be separated from each other?
Without such separation you will not have mobility of the spine. Some times the adjoining vertebrae fuse and create the problem.
What functions as shock absorbers and separates vertebraes?
Vertebrae are separted by intervertebral disks of cartilage.
What is ligamentum flavum?
The ligamentum flavum is a tendon that holds your vertebrae to each other.
Why do you need cartilage?
So the vertebrae in your spine will not grind agaist each other.
What separates America and Mexico from each other?
The Rio Grande river .
What is the definition of political boundaries?
separates countries or states from each other
What would happen if there were no disks in your vertebrae?
If your spine had no discs, the vertebrae would scrape very painfully against each other. This would be instantly crippling.
What separates the lungs from each other and divides the thoracic cavity into two parts?
The Mediastinum separates the thoracic cavity into two compartments.
What is the other name of the reduction division that separates two homologous chromosomes from each other?
Meiosis
What is the Definition for Political Border?
separates countries or states from each other
