Structure of
vertebrae:
• Body.
• Transverse
process.
• Vertebral
foramen.
• Spinous process.
• Superior
articular
process.
• Inferior articular
process.
• Vertebral arch.
• Lamina.
• Pedicles.
4
Composition of
vertebral column:
• The vertebral column is composed of 33
vertebrae:
• Cervical: 7
• Thoracic: 12
• Lumbar: 5
• Sacral:5 (fused to form the sacrum)
• Coccygeal:4 (the lower 3 are commonly fused )
• Because it is segmented and made up of
vertebra, joints, and pads of fibrocartilage
called intervertebral discs, it is a flexible
structure.
5
General
characteristics:
Typical vertebra consist of a rounded body anteriorly and a
vertebral arch posteriorly.
These encloses a space called vertebral foramen , through which run
the spinal cord and its coverings.
The vertebral arch consist of a pair of cylindrical pedicles.
The vertebral arch gives rise to seven processes: one spinous , two
transverse , and four articular.
The spinous process, or spine is directed posteriorly from the
junction of two laminae.
The transverse processes are directed laterally from the junction of
the laminae and the pedicles.
Both the spinous and transverse processes serves as levers and receive
attachments of muscles and ligaments.
The articular process are vertically arranged and consist of two
superior and two inferior processes. They arise from junction of
laminae and pedicles, and their articular surfaces are covered with
hyaline cartilage.
The pedicles are notched on their superior and inferior borders,
forming the superior and inferior vertebral notches. These vertebra
together form an intervertebral foramen.
These foramen, in an articulated skeleton, serves to transmit the spinal
nerves and blood vessels.
Importance
of vertebral column:
• The number of cervical vertebrae is constant, but the
seventh cervical vertebrae may posses a cervical rib.
• The thoracic vertebrae may be increased in number by the
addition of 1st lumbar vertebrae, which may have a rib.
• The 5th lumbar vertebrae may be incorporated into the
sacrum; this is usually incomplete and may be limited to
one side.
• The 1st sacral vertebra may remain partially or completely
separate from sacrum and resemble a 6th lumbar vertebra.
• The coccyx, which is usually consist of four fused vertebra,
may have three or five vertebra.
• The 1st coccygeal vertebra may be separate. In this
condition, the free vertebra usually projects downward and
anteriorly from the apex of the sacrum.
