vertebral facet
smooth flat surface on the superior and inferior articular processes
costal facet
smooth flat surface found on the vertebral body and transverse processes of THORACIC vertebrae only
projection = dens, bone = axis (C2)
Name this projection and the bone it is on
atlas (C1)
name this bone
*the spinous process and *the vertebral body
what two major structures are missing from the atlas?
atlantoaxial joint
name the joint between C1 and C2
occipital condyles
what specific part of the skull does the atlas articulate (form a joint) with?
transverse foramen
name this opening
cervical

thoracic
which section of the vertebral column has vertebrae with long, inferiorly angled spinous processes?
intervertebral disc

spinal cord
what structure occupies the vertebral foramen?
spinal nerve
what structure occupies the intervertebral foramen?
*Cervical *bifed (split) spinous process
what type of vertebra is this? How do you know?
costal facet (for articulation with ribs)
