Note that for the vertebre have the same bone markings, so know them and know how the differentiate between vertebrae
C3-C7
These diagrams show C4 and C7 but really work for C3-C7. According to LAB TA you only need to know the names of C1 and C2 (atlas and axis, respectfully). Most terms (but not all are included from the wish list because I would have to find a new vertebre and I really don’t want to)
Superior articular surfaces
Most are bifid
Inferior Atricular surface
Body
Spinous Process
Long and angled
Transverse Process
Lateral Projections
transverse Foramina
Hole in transverse process
Vertebral foramen
Hole posterior to body
Pedicle
Connects body to transverse process
Lamina
Connect Transverse process to spinous process
Intervertebral foramina
Intervertebral Foramen
Small openings formed on the lateral side of the vertebral column, formed between 2 vertebra that are stacked on top of each other. Also permits spinal nerve to pass.
Intervertebral Foramen
Sacrum
5 fused vertebrae in one bone, name S1-S5
S1-S5
Ala
Wings, formed by fused transverse processes
Sacral Canal
Medial sacral crest
Formed by fused spinous processes
Medial Sacral Crest
Sacral foramina
Similar to intervertebral foramina
Coccyx
Often called the tailbone
Thoracic Vertebrae
12 bones named T1-T12
Thoracic Vertebrae
Looks like a giraffe, Jurassic, thoracic
Superior articular surfaces
Inferior Articular Process
*Articular facets for ribs (costal
facets)
On the transverse processes
Lumbar Vertebrae
Lumbar Vertebrae
Looks like a moose!
Ribs
True Ribs
Ribs 1-7 with individual costal cartilage
False Ribs
Ribs 1-7 with individual costal cartilage
Floating Ribs
Ribs 11-12 that do not attach to the sternum in any way
Head
(superior and inferior articular facets)
Posterior portion that articulates with thoracic vertebrae
Neck
Just lateral to head
Tubercle
Articulates with transverse process of thoracic vertebrae
Body/Shaft
Curved main part of rib
Sternum
Anterior in thorax and made of 3 parts
Sternum
Manubrium
Superior portion
Jugular Notch
Clavicular Notch
Facets for ribs
Sternal Angle
Transverse ridge on the anterior surface
Body
Lower 2/3 of bone, below sternal angle
Xiphoid process
Xiphoid process
