7.2 The Vertebral Column
General Characteristics
• Extends from skull to pelvis
• Also called spine or spinal column
• Functions to transmit weight of trunk to lower
limbs, surround and protect spinal cord, provide
attachment points for ribs and muscles
• Flexible curved structure contains 26 irregular
bones called vertebrae in five major regions
© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.
General Characteristics (cont.)
• Regions and curvatures
– Regions: ~28 long vertebral column broken into
five major regions:
1. Cervical: consists of 7 vertebrae
2. Thoracic: 12 vertebrae
3. Lumbar: 5 vertebrae
– Remember meal times: 7 am, 12 noon, and 5 pm
4. Sacrum: one bone, formed from fusion of several
bones, articulates with hip
5. Coccyx: also fused bones that form terminus of
column

General Characteristics (cont.)
– Curvatures: four main curves in the column help
to increase resilience and flexibility of spine
• Cervical and lumbar curvatures
– Concave posteriorly
• Thoracic and sacral curvatures
– Convex posteriorly

General Characteristics (cont.)
• Ligaments: along with trunk muscles, help
support vertebral column
– Anterior and posterior longitudinal
ligaments: continuous bands from neck to
sacrum that run down front and back of spine
• Support and prevent hyperextension (backward) or
hyperflexion (forward) bending
– Ligamentum flavum: connects adjacent
vertebrae
– Short ligaments: connect each vertebra to those
above and below

General Characteristics (cont.)
• Intervertebral discs
– Cushionlike pad sandwiched between vertebrae
that act as shock absorbers
– Composed of two parts
• Nucleus pulposus
– Inner gelatinous nucleus
– Gives disc its elasticity and compressibility
• Anulus fibrosus
– Outer collar composed of collagen and fibrocartilage
– Limits expansion of nucleus pulposus when
compressed

Clinical – Homeostatic Imbalance 7.2
• Severe physical trauma to spine may result in one
or more herniated (prolapsed) discs
• Usually involves rupture of anulus fibrosus,
resulting in protrusion of nucleus pulposus, which
can press on spinal cord or nerves, causing
numbness or excruciating pain
• Treatment: exercise, massage, heat, painkillers, or
surgical intervention involving bone grafting to fuse
adjoining vertebrae
• Percutaneous laser disc decompression vaporizes
part of disc; tears can be sealed electrothermally
© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.
Clinical – Homeostatic Imbalance 7.2
• Abnormal spinal curvatures can be congenital or
result from disease, poor posture, or unequal pull of
muscles on spine
• Scoliosis: abnormal lateral rotation of spine, most
often in thoracic region, which may lead to
breathing difficulties
• Kyphosis (hunchback): is abnormal dorsal thoracic
curvature common in people with osteoporosis,
tuberculosis of spine, rickets, or osteomalacia
• Lordosis (swayback): is accentuated lumbar
curvature that can result from disease but is also
seen in men with pot bellies and in pregnant women

General Structure of Vertebrae
• All have common structural pattern consisting of:
– Body (centrum), the anterior weight-bearing
region
– Vertebral arch composed of:
• Two pedicles: short pillars form sides of arch
• Two laminae: fused, flattened plates form posterior
arch
– Vertebral foramen: enclosure formed by body
and vertebral arch coming together
– Vertebral canal: series of vertebral foramina
– Intervertebral foramina: lateral openings
between vertebrae for passage of spinal nerves

General Structure of Vertebrae (cont.)
• Vertebrae have seven processes:
– Spinous process: projects posteriorly
– Transverse processes (2): project laterally
– Superior articular processes (2): protrude
superiorly
– Inferior articular processes (2): protrude inferiorly

Regional Vertebral Characteristics
• Cervical vertebrae
– C1 to C7: smallest, lightest vertebrae
– C3 to C7 share following features:
•
•
•
•
Oval-shaped body
Exception: C7 spinous processes are split (bifid)
Large, triangular vertebral foramen
Transverse foramen found in each transverse
process for artery passageways
• C7 is vertebra prominens; large and can be felt
through skin, so used as a landmark

Regional Vertebral Characteristics (cont.)
• Cervical vertebrae (cont.)
– C1 (atlas) and C2 (axis) have unique features
– Atlas (C1)
• No body or spinous process
• Consists of anterior and posterior arches, and two
lateral masses
• Superior surfaces of lateral masses articulate with
occipital condyles
– Occipital condyles “carry” skull
• Movement for nodding head “Yes”

Regional Vertebral Characteristics (cont.)
– Axis (C2)
• Has body and processes like other vertebrae
• Major feature is knoblike dens that projects superiorly
into anterior arch of atlas
– Dens is the “missing” body of atlas
• Dens is a pivot for rotation of atlas
• Movement allows side to side rotation for saying “No”

Regional Vertebral Characteristics (cont.)
• Thoracic vertebrae
– T1 to T12 increase in size and articulate with ribs
– Unique characteristics:
• Body is heart shaped with two small demifacets that
articulate with ribs
– T10 to T12 have only single facet, not two
• Vertebral foramen is circular
• Long, sharp spinous process points inferiorly
• Transverse processes have transverse costal facets
that articulate with ribs (except T11, T12)
• Location of articular facets allows rotation of this area
of spine

Regional Vertebral Characteristics (cont.)
• Lumbar vertebrae
– L1 to L5 “small of back”; receives most stress, so
bodies are massive
– Other characteristics:
• Short, thick pedicles and laminae
• Flat, hatchet-shaped spinous processes point
posteriorly
• Vertebral foramen is triangular
• Orientation of articular facets locks lumbar vertebrae
together to prevent rotation

Regional Vertebral Characteristics (cont.)
• Sacrum: triangular bone shapes posterior wall of
pelvis; made from five fused vertebrae (S1–S5)
– Superior articular process articulates with L5
– Articulates inferiorly with coccyx and laterally with hip
bones via its auricular surfaces, forming sacroiliac
joints
– Sacral promontory: anterosuperior margin
– Transverse ridges mark lines of fusion
– Anterior sacral foramina: lie at lateral ends of
ridges; act as openings for nerves and vessels
– Alae: winglike expansions
© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.
Regional Vertebral Characteristics (cont.)
• Sacrum (cont.)
– Median sacral crest: roughened bumps on posterior
midline and lateral sacral crest; roughened area
seen laterally on posterior side
– Posterior sacral foramina: large openings for
sacral spinal nerves
– Sacral canal: continuation of vertebral canal
– Sacral hiatus: large opening at end of canal
• Coccyx: tailbone formed from three to five fused
vertebrae; articulates superiorly with sacrum
– Very little function

7.3 Thoracic Cage
• Composed of:
– Thoracic vertebrae posteriorly
– Sternum and costal cartilages anteriorly
– Ribs laterally
• Functions
– Protects vital organs of thoracic cavity
– Supports shoulder girdles and upper limbs
– Provides attachment sites for muscles of neck,
back, chest, and shoulders

Sternum
• Also called the breastbone; consists of three
fused bones:
– Manubrium: superior portion that articulates with
clavicular notches and ribs 1 and 2
– Body: midportion that articulates with costal
cartilages of ribs 2 through 7
– Xiphoid process: inferior end that is site of
muscle attachment
• Not ossified until ~age 40
© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.
Sternum (cont.)
• Sternum has three important anatomical
landmarks:
– Jugular notch
• Central indentation in superior border of manubrium
– Sternal angle
• Horizontal ridge across front of sternum
– Xiphisternal joint
• Point where sternal body and xiphoid process fuse

Clinical – Homeostatic Imbalance 7.4
• Xiphoid process projects posteriorly in some
people
• A blow to the chest (chest trauma) at the level
of the xiphoid process can push process into
underlying liver or heart
• Can cause massive hemorrhaging
© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.
Ribs
• 12 pairs form sides of thoracic cage
• All attach posteriorly to bodies and transverse
processes of thoracic vertebrae
• True (vertebrosternal) ribs (pairs 1–7)
– Attach directly to sternum by individual costal
cartilages
• False (vertebrochondral) ribs (pairs 8–10)
– Attach indirectly to sternum by joining costal
cartilage of rib above
• Vertebral (floating) ribs (pairs 11–12)
– No attachment to sternum

Ribs (cont.)
• Main parts of rib:
– Shaft: flat bone that makes up most of rib
• Costal groove: houses nerves and vessels
– Head (posterior end)
• Articulates with facets (demifacets) on bodies of two
adjacent vertebrae
– Neck: constricted portion beyond head
– Tubercle: knoblike structure lateral to neck
• Articulates posteriorly with transverse costal facet of
same-numbered thoracic vertebra
