The screw on the left in the fifth vertera in the lower back is sticking up a tiny bit into the space above it.
The anterior intervertebral joints are secondary cartilaginous joints (symphysis) which are designed for strength and weight bearing.
The two parts of the intervertebral disc are the nucleus pulposus and the annulus fibrosis. The nucleus pulposus is considered the central portion while the annulus fibrosis is the anterior area of the disc.
The Lateral or RAO (Right anterior Oblique) positions usually are the best positions to demonstrate the sternum.
yes. the atlas and axis, or C1 and C2, do not have an intervertebral disc, nor an intervertebral foramen, between them. C1 looks like an oval. it has two lateral masses (no vertebral body) where it makes contact with the occiput and C2. the inferior articular facets of the C1 and the superior articular facets of C2 form 2 joints, one on each side. there is also a third joint formed by the dens, or odontoid process, of C2 and the interior of the anterior arch of C1. this is the joint you use to shake your head "no".
