Cervical Vertebra

Neck region, consists of 7 vertebrae. Make anterior convex curve

Atlas

First cervical vertebrae. No body or spinous process and articulates with the occipital bone superiorly. Allows movement in the neck

Axis

Second cervical vertebrae. Has a dens/odontoid process that articulates with the atlas

Thoracic Vertebra

Twelve vertebrae that compose the middle portion of the back. Make posterior convex curve. The only vertebrae that attach to the ribs and have overlapping spinous processes

Lumbar Vertebra

Five vertebrae that compose the lower portion of the back. Makes anterior convex curve. Have larger bodies to support body weight

Vertebral Foramen

Opening in the vertebrae through which the spinal cord passes through

Transverse Process

Small bony articulations that protrude from the lateral sides of the vertebra that act as a site for attachment

Spinous Process

Bony projection off the posterior of vertebrae. Protrudes from the lamina

Pedicle

Acts as a bridge from the body of vertebrae

Lamina

Acts as a bridge from the spinous process of the vertebrae

Manubrium

Upper broad portion of the sternum

Interclavicular Notch

Rounded notch super to the manubrium between the surfaces articulating with the clavicles

Xiphoid Process

Most inferior portion of the sternum

Body of Sternum

Long middle portion of the sternum

Ilium

The superior and widest of the three bones making up the hipbone

Ischium

One of the three sections of the hipbone; situated below the ilium

Pubis

One of the three sections of the hipbone; together these two bones form the front of the pelvis and make the pubic symphysis

Symphysis Pubis

Joint between pubic bones

Obturator Foramen

Large opening in the hipbone between the pubis and ischium

Anterior Longitudinal Ligament

Runs along the anterior length of the vertebral bodies. Extension, stops over-extension

Posterior Longitudinal Ligament

Runs along the posterior side of the vertebral bodies vertically. Flexion, stops over-flexion

Interspinous Ligament

Between the spinous processes running horizontally. Prevents excessive flexion and rotation.

Ligamentum Flavum

Connects the lamina, runs vertically. Limits flexion because it is anterior to the spinous processes. Supports natural curvature of spine

Supraspinous Ligament

Most posterior to spinal cord, runs vertically posterior to spinous process. Stops flexion and stops the spinous processes from "splitting" by keeping tension in them
