Atlas
first cervical vertebra
-oval like, allows for yes head motion
anterior tubercle of atlas
serves as site of attachment for cervical ligaments and muscles
superior articular facet of atlas
articulates with occipital condyle
transverse process of atlas
transverse foramen of atlas
posterior tubercle of atlas
inferior articular facet of atlas
articulates with axis, round
Fovea Dentis of the Atlas
articulates with the dens of the axis
groove for vertebral artery of atlas
axis
C2, allows for "no" head motion
dens of axis
projects superiorly into the anterior arch of the atlas and is the pivot for the rotation of the atlas
superior articular facets of axis
inferior articular facets of axis
spinous process of axis
transverse process of axis
lateral projections
transverse foramen of axis
sacrum
5 fused vertebrae
coccyx
tailbone, 4 fused bones
head of rib
posterior end of a rib that articulates with the bodies of thoracic vertebrae
articular tubercle of rib
articulates with transverse process of vertebrae
angle of rib
The point at which the rib begins to curve forward
articular surfaces of rib
smooth area on the tubercle
shaft (body) of rib
main part of rib
sternum
breastbone, articulates with clavicle
manubrium
upper portion of the sternum
body of sternum
middle portion of the sternum
xiphoid process
lower, narrow portion of the sternum
jugular notch (suprasternal notch)
central indentation in superior border of manubrium
clavicular notch
Site where manubrium articulates with the clavicles
body of vertebrae
the thick, disc-shaped anterior portion which is the weight bearing portion
pedicle of vertebrae
make up the arch
transverse process
two lateral projections from the vertebral arch
lamina
part of the vertebral arch
spinous process
sharp, slender projection
vertebral foramen
canal through which spinal cord passes
superior articular process and facet
Process projecting superiorly from the lamina-pedicle junction. Articular facet faces posteriorly and superiorly.
inferior articular process and facet
joins with vertebra below
inferior vertebral notch
in the pedicle of the upper vertebra
superior vertebral notch
indentation of the superior edge of pedicle
Cervical Vertebrae (C1-C7)
- The smallest and lightest vertebrae
- The first two are the atlas and axis
-spinous process may split
Thoracic Vertebrae (T1-T12)
long, narrow spinous process that points out posteriorly, looks like a giraffe
Lumbar Vertebrae (L1-L5)
spinous process points out more laterally, looks like a moose
