CERVICAL VERTEBRAE • For the skeleton of the neck • located between the cranium and the thoracic vertebrae. • Their smaller size reflects the fact that they bear less weight than do the larger inferior vertebrae. • support the skull, move the spine and protect the spinal cord, a bundle of nerves connected to the brain. THORACIC VERTEBRAE The thoracic vertebrae are in the upper back and provide attachment for the ribs Lumbar vertebrae They are located in the lower back between the thorax and sacrum COCCYX formed by fusion of the four rudimentary coccygeal vertebrae, although in some people, there may be one less or one more Joints of the vertebral column Joint Joints of the vertebral bodies Joints of the vertebral arches Craniovertebral joints Costovertebral joints Sacro-iliac joints Description/Function Movements of the vertebral column Movement is limited by: • thickness • elasticity • bulk of surrounding tissue • resistance of the back muscles and ligaments • attachment to thoracic cage Movements • flexion • extension • lateral flexion • rotation of the neck Curvatures • provide additional flexibility (shock-absorbing resistance)- when standing • further augmenting that is provided by the IV discs. • Muscles provide resistance of increase curvature • When sitting it minimises stiffness and fatigue
