Chapter 39: The vertebral column The vertebral column usually consists of 33 vertebrae: 24 presacral vertebrae (7 cervical, 12 thoracic, and 5 lumbar) followed by the sacrum (5 fused sacral vertebrae) and the coccyx (4 frequently fused coccygeal vertebrae).The 24 presacral vertebrae allow movement and hence render the vertebral column flexible.9-10 and 39-11). Five (sometimes six) vertebrae are fused in the adult to form the sacrum, which can be felt below the small of the back.. The sacrum articulates above with L5, laterally with the hip bones, and inferiorly with the coccyx.

Sacral Insufficiency Fractures The sacrum forms the base of the spine and the center of the pelvis. The sacrum transmits the weight of the body to the pelvic girdle. It is shorter and wider in the female than in the male. Its name means sacred bone. At the top of the sacrum there are wings from each side called the sacral ala.

Spinal nerve (Redirected from Sacral nerves) A spinal nerve is a mixed nerve, which carries motor, sensory, and autonomic signals between the spinal cord and the body. In the human body there are 31 pairs of spinal nerves, one on each side of the vertebral column.

Vertebral column The human vertebral column consists of 33 vertebrae. These are divided into different regions, which correspond to the curves of the spinal column. These regions are called the cervical spine, thoracic spine, lumbar spine, sacrum and coccyx. There are a total of 33 vertebrae in the vertebral column. The articulating vertebrae are named according to their region of the spine. There are seven cervical vertebrae, twelve thoracic vertebrae and five lumbar vertebrae.

Anatomy of the Human Spine Only the top 24 bones are moveable; the vertebrae of the sacrum and coccyx are fused. The vertebrae in each region have unique features that help them perform their main functions. Cervical (neck) - the main function of the cervical spine is to support the weight of the head (about 10 pounds). The seven cervical vertebrae are numbered C1 to C7. The neck has the greatest range of motion because of two specialized vertebrae that connect to the skull.

Anatomy of the Human Spine The five lumbar vertebrae are numbered L1 to L5. These vertebrae are much larger in size to absorb the stress of lifting and carrying heavy objects. Sacrum-the main function of the sacrum is to connect the spine to the hip bones (iliac). There are five sacral vertebrae, which are fused together.

Numerical Variation in Vertebral Column The location of such a vertebra is predominately at the ends of the column and at the levels of transition between its regions. Thus, sacralization of the fifth lumbar, lumbar-like articular processes in the eleventh thoracic, and thoracic costal facets on the seventh cervical are observed. The levels of transition may be shifted cephalad, resulting in 23 mobile vertebrae, or shifted caudad, resulting in 25 presacral vertebrae.

Sacrum In all other quadrupedal vertebrates, the pelvic vertebrae undergo a similar developmental process to form a sacrum in the adult, even while the bony tail (caudal) vertebrae remain unfused. The number of sacral vertebrae varies slightly. A horse will fuse S1–S5, but a dog will fuse S1–S3.

Chapter 39: The vertebral column Chapter 39: The vertebral column. Vertebral column in general. The vertebral column usually consists of 33 vertebrae: 24 presacral vertebrae (7 cervical, 12 thoracic, and 5 lumbar) followed by the sacrum (5 fused sacral vertebrae) and the coccyx (4 frequently fused coccygeal vertebrae). The 24 presacral vertebrae allow movement and hence render the vertebral column flexible. Stability is provided by ligaments, muscles, and the form of the bones. The abbreviations C., T., L., S., and Co. are used for the regions, and these are sometimes followed by V. for vertebra or N. for nerve.

- The vertebral column is composed of a series of 31 separate bones known as vertebrae. There are seven cervical or neck vertebrae, 12 thoracic vertebrae, and five lumbar vertebrae. The sacrum is composed of five fused vertebrae, and there are two coccygeal vertebrae which are sometimes fused (fig.1). In the normal adult there are four curvatures in the vertebral column in an anteroposterior plane. These serve to align the head with a vertical line through the pelvis (fig. 2).he sacrum is composed of five fused vertebrae, and there are two coccygeal vertebrae which are sometimes fused (fig. 1). In the normal adult there are four curvatures in the vertebral column in an anteroposterior plane.

Vertebral Column The base (fig. 282) is formed by the upper surface of the first sacral vertebra and presents all the features of a typical vertebra in a slightly modified form. The body is large and much wider from side to side than from before backwards. Its anterior projecting edge is named the sacral promontory.

Lumbar vertebrae In the upper lumbar region the lamina are taller than wide but in the lower lumbar vertebra the lamina are wider than tall. The lamina connect the spinous process to the pedicles. The vertebral foramen within the arch is triangular, larger than in the thoracic vertebrae, but smaller than in the cervical vertebrae.acralization of the fifth lumbar vertebra (or sacralization) is a congenital anomaly, in which the transverse process of the last lumbar vertebra (L5) fuses to the sacrum on one side or both, or to ilium, or both.

Sacrum The sacrum (/ˈsækrəm/ or /ˈseɪkrəm/; plural: sacra or sacrums; Latin os sacrum) in human anatomy is a large, triangular bone at the base of the spine, that forms by the fusing of sacral vertebrae S1–S5, between 18 and 30 years of age. The sacrum articulates (forms a joint with) with four other bones.

They are represented by the symbols S1 through S5 and are situated between the lumbar vertebrae and the coccyx (the lowest segment of the vertebral column).The sacral vertebrae are normally fused to form the sacrum.hey are represented by the symbols S1 through S5 and are situated between the lumbar vertebrae and the coccyx (the lowest segment of the vertebral column).

- The coccyx, or tailbone, is the lowest part of the spine. The sacrum is a triangular shaped bone that lies between the lumbar vertebrae and the coccyx. Both sides of the sacrum attach the pelvis. The spine is made up of many parts. It is supported by an upright row of stacked spine bones, called vertebrae.

- Sacrum The sacrum is the portion of the vertebral column between the lumbar vertebrae and the structures of the coccyx. It is composed of five vertebrae which are fused together to form a single bone structure.

- In the vertebrate spinal column, each vertebra is an irregular bone with a complex structure composed of bone and some hyaline cartilage, the proportions of which vary according to the segment of the backbone and the species of vertebrate animal.ach of the vertebrae is an irregular bone. The size of the vertebrae varies according to placement in the vertebral column, spinal loading, posture and pathology. Along the length of the spine the vertebrae change to accommodate different needs related to stress and mobility.

Sacral spine overview Sections. The sacral spine refers to the five fused vertebrae (S1-S5) at the end of the spinal column. Basically, the sacral spine is located behind the pelvis, between the hip bones and connects the spinal column to the pelvis.This general area is sometimes referred to as the lumbosacral spine.ections.
