„Vertebrates”
Vertebral column
- Role in locomotor system
- Protection of spinal cord
- Usually composed of 33-35 vertebrae:
- 7 cervical
- 12 thoracic
- 5 lumbar
- 5 sacral ( sacrum)
- 4-6 coccygeal (coccyx)
- True vs. false vertebrae
(sacrum, v. coccyx)

Connection of vertebrae
Continuous connections:
- synostosis (5 sacral. Sacrum; coccyx)
- synchondrosis (intervertebral disc)
- syndesmosis
Synovial joints – two plain joints between each
adjacent vertebrae
- exceptions: Atlantooccipital j. (ellipsoid)
Atlantoaxial j. (pivot)

Sup. costal facet
Inf. costal facet
Transverse

Movements of the thoracic part
of the vertebral column are much
more restricted
(position of spinous processes
and articular facets, ribcage)
![Page 16: Vertebral column, thorax - Semmelweis Egyetem](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012103/61dbbe349b234503097db301/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Ribs Most of the 12 pairs of ribs attach to the vertebrae
at three points:
1) Transverse costal facet and
2) Sup. costal facet of the same vertebra
3) Inf. costal facet of the vertebra above
They also linked to the intervertebral disc between
two vertebrae
Exceptions: 1st, 11th, 12th ribs.

Lumbar vertebraeTransverse process
(processus costarius)
Remnant of ribs!
Accessory process
The true transverse process!
Again a region of greater mobility. The broad space between spinous
processes gives the possibility of lumbar puncture.

Individual HOX-gene
combination is
expressed in every
somite (HOX code),
giving an individual
identity to the
segment.
This code, does not
appy to the muscle
(myotome)

Deletion:
more cranial identity
(lumabalisation, lumbar ribs)
Extra HOX-gene expression:
More caudal identity
(sacralisation, cervical ribs)
![Page 28: Vertebral column, thorax - Semmelweis Egyetem](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012103/61dbbe349b234503097db301/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Coccyx
Remnant of the tale
4-6 underdeveloped and deformed vertebrae,
that can ossify together with sacrum in males
but usually not in females
Can decrease the AP diameter of the outlet of
pelvis
![Page 29: Vertebral column, thorax - Semmelweis Egyetem](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012103/61dbbe349b234503097db301/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Vertebral columnCervical lordosis
Lumbar lordosis
Thoracic kyphosis
Sacral kyphosis
AP curvatures of the vertebral column are not
present at birth, but develop parallel with the
evolving motility of the child
Curvatures absorb energy, supply the
anatomical bases for elastic energy transfer.
Lateral curvatures (scoliosis) are normally
present only at a minimal degree.
![Page 30: Vertebral column, thorax - Semmelweis Egyetem](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012103/61dbbe349b234503097db301/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
The development of the lordosis
Cervival lordosis: lifting of the head Lumbal lordosis: standing and walking

Center of gravity
Passing through the following structures:
atlantooccipital joint
lower lumbar vertebrae, anterior to promontory
head of femur - acetabulum
talus (highest point of longitudinal plantar arch)
Weight and support in the same plane! – Can stay in
equilibrium without continuous muscle work.
It is only possible if the superior aperture of pelvis is bent 60-
65 degrees! – Pelvic inclination
Sacrum is in near horizontal position

Distortion of the sternum, and sternal
rib cartilages is essential for in- and
expiration.
In elderly patients due to the
ossification of the cartilaginous part of
the ribs the movements of the thorax
are limited. Abdominal (diaphragmatic)
respiration compensates.
![Page 43: Vertebral column, thorax - Semmelweis Egyetem](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012103/61dbbe349b234503097db301/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
The thorax is not the same as the thoracic cavity!
The thoracic cavity is the region of the thorax above the diaphragm,
and it exceeds the level of the first rib, and extends to the scalenal
tent.
