Chapter 11 Anatomy Spinal column Vertebrae Cervical 7 convex anteriorly Thoracic 12 concave anteriorly Lumbar 5 convex anteriorly Sacral 5 fused concave anteriorly Coccyx 4 fused. Patrick Elder. Basics. How do we divide the vertebrae of the vertebral column, and how many are there?. 7 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar, 5 sacral and the coccyx.. From where do the spinal nerves originate, and how are they named?. Vertebral Column (Spine). Extends from the skull, which it supports, to the pelvis, where it transmits the weight of the body to the lower limbs. The spine is formed from 26 irregular bones connected and reinforced by ligaments in such a way that a flexible curved structure results. Dr Malith Kumarasinghe. MBBS (Colombo). What is it?. Injection of intra-thecal contrast material to visualize disease or injury within the spinal column using CT and fluoroscopy. Invasive test with associated risks. Vertebral Column (Spine). Extends from the skull, which it supports, to the pelvis, where it transmits the weight of the body to the lower limbs. The spine is formed from 26 irregular bones connected and reinforced by ligaments in such a way that a flexible curved structure results. Objectives.
