What is the overall shape of the vertebral column?
There are essentially 3 curves in the human spine: 1. Cervical lordotic curve 2. Thoracic kyphotic curve 3. Lumbar lordotic curve In summary the human spine has 2 lordotic curves and 1 kyphotic curve. If you are looking at a person sideways with their face facing towards your left, the lordotic curve is concave and the kyphotic curve is convex.
In describing abnormal curvatures it could be said that kyphosis is an exaggerated thoracic curvature and in what the vertebral column is displaced laterally?
Kyphosis is an excessive outward curvature of the thoracic spine, causing a rounded or hunched posture. Scoliosis, on the other hand, is a lateral deviation or sideways displacement of the vertebral column, resulting in an S or C-shaped curve.
What are the 3 natural curves of the spine?
When examining the spine you are looking for Cervical Lordosis, Thoracic Kyphosis and Lumbar Lordosis. Lordosis is the anterior curvature of the spine (it curves inwards, towards the body) while Kyphosis is the opposite, when the spine curves outwards, posteriorly. hope that helps! x
Where is the thoracic curve?
The thoracic spine is from the base of the neck to the bottom of the rib cage. All the thoracic vertebrae - all 12 have ribs attached. The curve the thoracic spine has is called the thoracic curve, or kyphosis. It is normal to have a curve but if the curve is excessive or twists to the side it is abnormal. It can cause problems or if mild most people do not know it is there.
What is the name of the superior concave curve in the vertebral column?
The superior concave curve in the vertebral column is called the cervical lordosis.
What is a curvature?
Primary curvature is the concave curve of the fetal vertebral column. This is apparent in the adult thoracic and sacral regions.

How many curvature does vertebral column have?
You have the convex anteriorly curve of cervical vertebrae. You have the concave anteriorly curve of thoracic vertebrae. Again you have the convex anteriorly curve of lumber vertebrae. The sacrum goes steep backward from the last lumber vertebra. Here no curve is described probably. So you have lardosis of cervical and lumber vertebrae. You have kyphosis of the thoracic vertebrae.
What muscle is located on the sides of 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.
What are the four major curvatures of the vertebral column and direction in which they curve?
cervical, thoracic, lumbar, and sacral curvature.
Which curve of the stomach is a concave curve?
the lesser curvature of the stomach is a concave curve
