Cervical vertebrae

Distinguishing features between the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar vertebrae include: a forked spinous process on vertebrae C2-6, transverse foramen and a large vertebral foramen for the cervical vertebrae. Thoracic vertebrae have relatively pointed and downwards-facing spinous processes, a heart-shaped, body, and transverse costal facets on T1-10. The lumbar have thick, stout bodies and blunt, square spinous processes.

Several anatomical structures in the upper cervical region are the common sources of cervicogenic headache (CGH). Certain postures, activities, sports, and occupations are associated with a risk of causing CGH.

This course describes injuries to the cervical, thoracic, and lumbosacral spinal column, including fractures, dislocations, and subluxations of the vertebrae, and injuries to the spinal ligaments. The importance of recognizing and appropriately managing injuries to the spinal column is underscored by their association with SCI. Management via medical and/or surgical care with appropriate interventions and prevention of complications of SCI will be discussed with, hopefully, a return to…

A typical thoracic vertebra Thoracic vertebra has costal facets in the transverse process and the side of its vertebral body, not present in other vertebra. Two demifacets are found on each side. The larger upper is at the junction with the pedicle. The smaller lower facet is at the lower border of the body. One costal facets on the transverse process lies on its anterior surface. Rotational and gliding movement at these articulation The vertebral body is concave around the circumference and…
