2 wrz 2024 · The vertebral column (also known as the backbone or the spine), is a column of approximately 33 small bones, called vertebrae. The column runs from the cranium to the apex of the coccyx, on the posterior aspect of the body. It contains and protects the spinal cord.
8 sie 2023 · The vertebral column (spine) defines the animal subphylum Vertebra, or vertebrates, of the phylum Chordata. In humans, it is composed of 33 vertebrae that include 7 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar, 5 sacral, and 4 coccygeal. Along with the skull, ribs, and sternum, these vertebrae make up the axial skeletal system.
A typical vertebra consists of two parts: the vertebral body (or centrum), which is ventral (or anterior, in the standard anatomical position) and withstands axial structural load; and the vertebral arch (also known as neural arch), which is dorsal (or posterior) and provides articulations and anchorages for ribs and core skeletal muscles.
10 maj 2022 · Anatomy. The vertebral column is composed of 33 vertebrae separated by fibrocartilaginous intervertebral discs (IV discs) that unite to form a single unit supported by strong joints and ligaments.
11 maj 2019 · The collection of bones stacked vertically upon one another to form the spine is what we know as the vertebral column. Each of these bones is called a vertebra (plural: vertebrae). The vertebral column comprises 33 vertebrae, each separated by fibrocartilaginous intervertebral discs.
Describe a typical vertebra and determine the distinguishing characteristics for vertebrae in each vertebral region and features of the sacrum and the coccyx. Define the structure of an intervertebral disc. Determine the location of the ligaments that provide support for the vertebral column.
