Lab 5. Axial Skeleton vertebral
tutorial |
The material you will use to study the rest of the axial skeleton
include vertebrae from box of bones, articulated spinal column,
miscellaneous isolated vertebrae, vertebral columns of articulated
skeletons |
Cervical Vertebrae – C-1 (atlas) with --- anterior and posterior
arches --- C-2 (axis) with --- dens (odontoid process) --- C-3 through
C-4 --- C-7 (vertebra prominens) --- transverse foramina --- transverse
process --- spinous process (some bifid) --- pedicle --- lamina ---
superior articular process and facet --- inferior articular process and
facet --- vertebral canal or foramen --- vertebral (neural) arch --- body
(centrum). |
Thoracic Vertebrae – T-1 through T-12 --- transverse process ---
facets and demifacets for ribs --- spinous process --- pedicle --- lamina
--- superior articular process and facet --- inferior articular process
and facet --- vertebral canal or foramen --- vertebral (neural) arch ---
body (centrum). |
Lumbar Vertebrae – Transverse process --- spinous process ---
pedicle --- lamina --- superior articular process and facet --- inferior
articular process and facet --- vertebral canal or foramen --- vertebral
(neural) arch --- body (centrum). |
Sacrum – Sacral ala --- body --- anterior sacral foramina ---
superior articular process and facet --- sacral promontory --- base of
sacrum --- transverse line (ridge) --- apex of sacrum --- sacral canal ---
posterior sacral foramina --- auricular surfaces --- median sacral crest
--- sacral hiatus --- sacral cornu. |
Coccyx – coccygeal cornu. |
Sternum – manubrium --- body --- xiphoid process --- clavicular
notch --- suprasternal (also manubrial or jugular) notch --- sternal angle
--- costal notches. |
Ribs - head (capitulum) --- tubercle --- neck --- costal groove ---
seven true (vertebrosternal) ribs --- five false ribs divided into ---
three vertebrochondral false ribs --- two floating false ribs.
