7 cervical
12 thoracic
5 lumbar
5 sacral
4 coccyx
Name the bony prominences of the vertebrae
vertebral foramen- hole in the center
vertebral body - big piece
spinous process - big point posterior
transverse process - 2 lateral points
pedicle - from body to transverse process
facet - articulating surface
lamina - between spinous process and transverse process
What are the 4 functions of vertebrae and where are the located on the bone?
Support body weight
Muscle attachment and movement
Protection of spinal cord
Restriction of movement
What is the C1 and C2 vertebrae, how do you differentiate them?
C1 = atlas (holds the world, on top)
C2 = axis (pivot joint) has spine pointing ventrally (DENS)
What are the 2 ligaments in the cervical and thoracic regions along the spine?
Ligamentum nuchae & supraspinous
How can you distinguish the 3 types of vertebrae?
Look at all from the sagittal view.
Cervical = mouse
Thoracic = giraffe
Lumbar = moose

What are the two parts that make of the intervertebral disc?
Annulus fibrosus, nucleus pulposus
What are the 3 different views of the intervertebral disc under relaxed, erect and later flexion states?
What is a tear in the outer annulus fibrosus ring known as?
Slipped disc, intervertebral disc herniation
