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 Your Subtitle Goes Here Posture Vertebral Alignment Does it really matter? Yes it does! Postural Curves Convex & Concave • the reference point is the posterior aspect • 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. Chapter 8. Introduction. The notochord and vertebral column define the long axis of the body, offer sites for muscle attachment, prevent telescoping, and support body weight.. The notochord is a long, continuous rod of fibrous connective tissue wrapping a fluid filled core.. 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. Together with ribs and sternum provide about two-fifths (40%) of the height of the body. Composed of 33 (26) different bones. Encloses and protects the spinal cord. Supports the head.
