Axial Skeleton (Cont’d)

Hyoid Bone  Greater horns  Lesser horns  Body

Vertebral Column (26 vertebrae)  (7)  (12)  vertebrae (5)  (1 consisting of 5 fused sacral vertebrae)  (1 consisting of 4 fused coccygeal vertebrae)

 4 normal curvatures – cervical, thoracic, lumbar, and sacral  between each unfused consists of an annulus fibrosus () surrounding a nucleus pulposus (soft, spongy elastic tissue)

A typical cervical, thoracic, and lumbar vertebra consists of a  body  vertebral arch formed by 2 posterior laminae fused with 2 anterior pedicles  2 transverse processes  2 superior with facets  2 inferior articular processes with facets  spinous process  (of all vertebrae form vertebral )  vertebral notches (superior and inferior stacked form intervertebral foramina)

CERVICAL vertebrae in general have bifid spinous processes (except C1 &C7) and transverse foramina. The first cervical vertebra is the which lacks a body and spinous process. It is a ring of bone consisting of anterior and posterior arches and large lateral masses which contain superior and inferior articular facets, transverse processes containing transverse foramina and a vertebral foramen. The second cervical vertebra is the which has a body containing the dens (odontoid process), transverse foramina in transverse processes as well as all other features of a typical vertebra. The seventh cervical vertebra has a vertebra prominens in place of the bifid spinous process, transverse foramina in transverse processes as well as all other features of a typical vertebra.

THORACIC vertebrae in general are larger and stronger than cervical vertebrae and have spinous processes which are long, laterally flattened, and directed inferiorly. In addition, T 1-10 have facets in the transverse processes for articulating with the tubercles of . All bodies of thoracic vertebrae have either facets or demifacets for articulating with the heads of ribs (you do not need to know which ones have facets and/or demifacets).

LUMBAR vertebrae are the largest and strongest unfused vertebrae and have large thick spinous processes. The superior articular processes are directed medially and the inferior articular processes are directed laterally.
