Cervical and Lumbar
Anterior Portion of an Intervertebral Disc
Body
The short, thick, cylindrical bony processes that project from the vertebral body and fuse with the laminae to form the neural arch
Pedicles
The part of the vertebra that connects the spinous process and the transverse process
Lamina
The bony projection off the posterior (back) of each vertebra. It protrudes where the laminae of the vertebral arch join and provides the point of attachment for muscles and ligaments of the spine.
Spinous Process
Process projecting laterally from the junction of the lamina and the pedicle on each side of the vertebrae. The transverse process serves as a point of attachment for muscles that help move the vertebrae as well as ligaments that stabilize the vertebral column
Transverse Process
The doorway between the spinal canal and periphery. It lies between the pedicles of neighboring vertebrae at all levels in the spine.
Intervertebral Foramina
Number of Cervical Vertebae
7
An opening that is occupied by the vertebral artery and vein in the first six vertebrae and only the vertebral vein in the seventh
Transverse Formina
Spinous Processes of C2 to C6
Forked (bifid)
Spinous Processes of C7
Long
Vertebra known as the atlas that supports the head.
C1
Vertebra know as axis. It pivots around dens (odontoid process) during rotation of the head.
C2
Number of Thoracic Vertebra
12
Spinous Processes of Thoracic Vertebra

Scapula
Part of the Scapula Articulating with the Clavicle
Acromion (via Acromioclavicular Joint)
Hook-shaped bone structure projecting anterolaterally from the superior aspect of the scapular neck
Coracoid Process
The shallow, vertically elongate concavity that receives the head of the humerus
Glenoid Fossa
Functions of the Pelvic Girdle
- Support Trunk
- Provide Attachments for Lower Limbs

Interior Anterior Part of Coxa
Pubis
Joint where the 2 pubic bones articulate
Pubic Symphysis
Formation of the 2 Pubi
Pubic Arch
Cup shaped cavity on the lateral surface of coxae articulating with the head of the femur
Acetabulum
- Bind bones together
- Allow movement and bone growth
Joints
- Most common joint
- Involves articular cartilage, joint capsule, synovial membrane, synovial fluid
Synovial Joint
- Composed of hyaline cartilage
- Reduces friction during joint movement
Articular Cartilage
Free Moving Joints
Diarthortic
- Dense CT
- Reinforce Joint Capsule
- Connect Bone to Bone
- Prevent Excessive Joint Movement
Ligaments
- Joint with movement in different planes but not rotational component
- MCP joints
- Wrist Joint
