symphysical
where two vertebral bodies meet

synovial
between articular processes
-cushioned by synovial fluid
anulus fibrosus
tough fibrocartlidge
-prevents too much rotation
nucleus pulposus
cushioning
intrinsic
origin, insertion, and body fully
-innervated by posterior rami
-movement of head and vertebral column
extrinsic
parts of the muscles extend in other regions
-innervated mostly by anterior rami
