Anatomy of the Spine
Articular Facet Joints
The articular facets are where two neighboring vertebrae attach.
Spinous Process
The spinous process protrudes from the back of each vertebra. Muscles and ligaments that move and stabilize the vertebrae attach to the spinous processes.
Disc
Discs separate vertebrae. They are made of tough, elastic material that allows the spine to bend and twist naturally.
Lamina
The flat plates of the lamina create the outer wall of the vertebral canal and help protect the spinal cord.
Vertebral Canal
The spinal cord sits in this channel formed by the lamina and the vertebral body.
