What is anatomic wedging of vertebrae?
This refers to the normal apppearance of some vertebrae, specifically the lumbar vertebrae, which have a wedged shape. The anterior aspect of lumbar vertebrae are shorter than the posterior aspect, giving them a wedged shape from posterior to anterior. This shape helps contribute to the lumbar lordosis (normal curve). The lumbar curve is called an elliptical curve (so not a "c" curve like the neck but more like an ellipse). The vertebrae can appear like this if there is a past compression fracture or fractures.
What is the anterior-inferior end plate?
the Vertebral end plate is the section of the vertebra that in faces with the spinal disk the inferior end plate is the bottom side of a vertebra. so the Anterior section of the inferior end plate of C# or T# would be the inside if the person side of the bottom side of the vertebra.

What are the main parts of the vertebrae called?
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.
