lamina + pedicle = neural arch
vertebral foramen
transverse process
superior and inferior articular facets
c1
atlas
what is there instead of the body on c1
facet for dens
orientation of c1
superior articular facet long narrow concave == occipital condyles
inferior articular facet less concave and round == attaches to c2
c2
axis
c2 shape
dens/odontoid process goes up into c1
difference btwn c7 and t1
c7 has transverse foramina t1 doesnt
t1 has costal facets
all cervical vertebrae have
transverse foramina
bifurcated spinous process
all thoracic vertebrae have
no transverse foramina
superior and inferior costal facets
spinous process not bifurcated
thoracic orientation
spinous process goes down
demifacets articulate w
rib head
transverse costal facets articulate w
rib tubercle
why is t10 unique
only one facet on upper half of body and transverse facet
why are t11-12 unique
plate like spinous processes
no transverse costal facet
