The Upper Jaw Bone
Maxillary
The bone that forms the prominent part of the cheek and the outer side of the eye socket
Zygomatic
Bridge of bone extending from the temporal bone at the side of the head around to the maxilla (upper jawbone) in front and including the zygomatic (cheek) bone as a major portion
Zygomatic Arch
Only movable bone of the facial skeleton

Anteriorly Concave Vertebral Curvatures
Thoracic and Pelvic
Anteriorly Convex Vertebral Curvatures
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
