🗑
when does the thoracic & sacral curves develop   soon after birth  
🗑
what are the primary or posterior curves   the thoracic & sacral curves  
🗑
which two portions of the vertebral column are classified as 2nd or compensatory curves   cervical & lumbar  
🗑
when is the first compensatory curve formed   formed in the cervical region when a child begins to hold up his head  
🗑
when is the 2nd compensatory curve formed   formed in the lumbar region when a child first learns to walk  
🗑
what is the body of the vertebrae   is the thick weight bearing part of the vertebrae  
🗑
the vertebral arch extends where   extends posteriorly from the body  
🗑
what are the intervertebral joints   the slightly moveable joints b/w the vertebral bodies  
🗑
the posterior body & arch form an opening called   the vertebral foramen  
🗑
what protects the spinal cord   the spinal canal  
🗑
how is the vertebral canal formed   when vertebra are stacked  
🗑
the pedicles extend how   posteriorly from each side of the vertebral body  
🗑
the pedicles extend posteriorly from each side of the vertebral to form what   they form most of the sides of the vertebral arch  
🗑
the posterior portion of the vertebral arch is formed by the   laminae  
🗑
the transverse process extends laterally from where   the junction of the pedicles & laminae  
🗑
the spinous process extends posteriorly from---   union of the two lamina  
🗑
the zyagopophseal joints are form by the   sap(superior articulating process) & iap (inferior articulating process facets are actual articulating surfaces  
🗑
on each vertebrae there is a   superior vertebral notch and inferior vertebral notch located above & below each pedicle forming the intervertebral foramina(l&R)  
🗑
fibrocartilaginous disks are located b/w each vertebrae except   C-1 & C-2  
🗑
each disk contains an outer fiberous portion called and the inner portion is called   annules fibrosis,nucleus pulposus

🗑
what is the unique features of thoracic vertebrae   facets for articulation w ribs.spinous process of thoracic vertebrae extend extremely inferior so the spinous process of T4 will be superimposes on the body of T5 during an AP  
🗑
the articulation b/w the transverse processes of the thoracic vertebrae & the tubercle of each rib forms the   costotransverse joint  
🗑
11 ribs & 12 ribs do not have costotransverse but articulates at what   costovertebral joints
