The head of the rib articualtes with the superior coastal facet of the vertebra after which it is number, the i … nferior coastal facet of the vertebra above it and the articular facet on the transverce process of the vertebrae aftr which it is numbered.ach disc is slightly flexible, so the combined movement of many of the joints in the vertebral column allows the back to bend forward or the the side or to twist. they are amphiarthrotic joints because these joints allow slight movement.

- 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.ig 1.4 – Diagram of the sacrum and coccyx, articulating with the pelvic bones. The sacrum is a collection of five fused vertebrae. It is described as an upside down triangle, with the apex pointing inferiorly. On the lateral walls of the sacrum are facets, for articulation with the pelvis at the sacro-iliac joints.

Spinal Column: An Integral Part of the Human Body The bones in the spine are called vertebrae (ver-ta-bray). The column starts at the base of the skull and continues to the pelvis. Alternate layers of bone (vertebrae) and cartilage (car-til-ledge, the intervertebral discs) stack vertically one on top of the other in the spinal column.

Vertebrae Vertebrae. Bones in the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar regions of the body that make up the vertebral column. Vertebrae have a central foramen (hole), and their superposition makes up the vertebral canal that encloses the spinal cord.tymology: L, joint. any one of the 33 bones (26 in the adult) of the spinal column, comprising the 7 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar, 5 sacral (1 in adult), and 4 coccygeal vertebrae (1 in adult).

Types of Joints 1 Some examples of cartilaginous joints include joints between the ribs and costal cartilage, and the intervertebral disks of the spine. 2  The most common type of joint, the synovial joint, features a fluid-filled space between smooth cartilage pads at the end of articulating bones.ature has solved this problem by dividing the skeleton into many bones and creating joints where the bones intersect. Joints, also known as articulations, are strong connections that join the bones, teeth, and cartilage of the body to one another.

- The joints between the first ribs and sternum are synchondroses; the joints between the other ribs and sternum are symphyses. The joints between the first ribs and sternum are synarthrotic; the joints between the other ribs and sternum are diarthrotic. This joint is labeled B in the figure. All joints between the ribs and sternum are classified as cartilaginous joints. The joints between the first ribs and sternum are synchondroses; the joints between the other ribs and sternum are symphyses.

Atom The spine is made up of 24 bones, called vertebrae. Ligaments and muscles connect these bones together and form what is called the spinal column. The spinal column has three main segments. From top to bottom they are the cervical spine, the thoracic spine, and the lumbar spine.

The Vertebral Column Or Spinal Column Those in the two lower regions, the sacrum and coccyx, are united in the adult to form two bones and are called, the fixed vertebrae. Human Vertebral Column. With the exception of the first two cervical vertebrae, all the movable vertebrae have similar structure; A typical vertebra is a bony ring.ive sacral vertebrae form the sacrum. Four coccygeal vetebrae form the coccyx or tail. The vertebrae in the three upper regions remain separate or distinct throughout life, and are called the movable vertebrae.

Intervertebral disc An intervertebral disc (or intervertebral fibrocartilage) lies between adjacent vertebrae in the vertebral column. Each disc forms a fibrocartilaginous joint (a symphysis), to allow slight movement of the vertebrae, and acts as a ligament to hold the vertebrae together.he nucleus of the disc acts as a shock absorber, absorbing the impact of the body's activities and keeping the two vertebrae separated. It is the remnant of the notochord. There is one disc between each pair of vertebrae, except for the first cervical segment, the atlas.

Call for an appointment at (781) 933-5051 The facet joints are located on the back of the spinal column. There are two facet joints between each pair of vertebrae, one on each side of the spine. A facet joint is made of small, bony knobs that line up along the back of the spine. Where these knobs meet, they form a joint that connects the two vertebrae.

Ligaments and Joints of the Vertebral Column 1 These are synovial joints between the interior articular process of superior vertebrae and the superior articular process of inferior vertebrae. 2  These plane joints are known as zygapophyseal joints (facet joints) . 3  The flat surfaces of the articular facets are covered with hyaline cartilage.

Cervical Facet Arthropathy Facet Joints. Each vertebral level of the spine consists of three joints. There is a joint between the bodies of two vertebra connected by an intervertebral disc, and two facet joints which connect one vertebra to the other. The facet joints are on the posterior aspect of the spine, with one located on each side.

- The vertebral column, also known as the backbone or spine, is a bony skeletal structure found in vertebrates.It is formed from individual bones called vertebrae (singular: vertebra), which houses the spinal canal, a cavity that encloses and protects the spinal cord.There about 50,000 species of animals that have a vertebral column. The human vertebral column is one of the most-studied examples.ertebrae are defined by the regions of the vertebral column that they occur in. Cervical vertebrae are those in the neck area. With the exception of the two sloth genera (Choloepus and Bradypus) and the manatee genus, (Trichechus), all mammals have seven cervical vertebrae.

There are two ways to categorize joints. The first is by joint function, also referred to as range of motion.

- Thoracic vertebrae in all mammalian species are defined as those vertebrae that also carry a pair of ribs, and lie caudal to the cervical vertebrae. Further caudally follow the lumbar vertebrae, which also belong to the trunk, but do not carry ribs.he atlas (C1) and axis (C2) are the two topmost vertebrae. The atlas, C1, is the topmost vertebra, and along with the axis; forms the joint connecting the skull and spine. Its chief peculiarity is that it has no body, and this is due to the fact that the body of the atlas has fused with that of the axis.
