  2. Spinal column - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinal_column

    The vertebral arch surrounds the spinal cord, and is of broadly similar form to that found in most other vertebrates. Just beneath the arch lies a small plate-like pleurocentrum, which protects the upper surface of the notochord, and below that, a larger arch-shaped intercentrum to protect the lower border. Both of these structures are embedded ...

  3. Vertebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertebra

    Severe cases can cause spinal cord compression. Block vertebrae where some vertebrae have become fused can cause problems. Spina bifida can result from the incomplete formation of the vertebral arch. Spondylolysis is a defect in the pars interarticularis of the vertebral arch. In most cases this occurs in the lowest of the lumbar vertebrae (L5 ...

  4. Spinal canal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinal_canal

    The vertebral canal is enclosed anteriorly by the vertebral bodies, intervertebral discs, and the posterior longitudinal ligament; it is enclosed posteriorly by the vertebral laminae and the ligamenta flava; laterally, it is incompletely enclosed by the pedicles with the interval between two adjacent pedicles on either side creating an intervertebral foramen (allowing the passage of the spinal ...

  5. Spinal cord - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinal_cord

    The spinal cord is a long, thin, tubular structure made up of nervous tissue that extends from the medulla oblongata in the lower brainstem to the lumbar region of the vertebral column (backbone) of vertebrate animals. The center of the spinal cord is hollow and contains a structure called the central canal, which contains cerebrospinal fluid.

  6. Vertebral foramen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertebral_foramen

    In a typical vertebra, the vertebral foramen is the foramen (opening) of a vertebra bounded ventrally/anteriorly by the body of the vertebra, and the dorsally/posteriorly by the vertebral arch. [ 1 ] : 421

  7. Lumbar vertebrae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lumbar_vertebrae

    In human anatomy, the five vertebrae are between the rib cage and the pelvis.They are the largest segments of the vertebral column and are characterized by the absence of the foramen transversarium within the transverse process (since it is only found in the cervical region) and by the absence of facets on the sides of the body (as found only in the thoracic region).

  8. Laminotomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laminotomy

    The spinal cord is housed in a bony hollow tube called the vertebral column. [3] The vertebral column is composed of many ring-like bones called vertebra (plural: vertebrae) and it spans from the skull to the sacrum. Each vertebra has a hole in the center called the vertebral foramen through which the spinal cord traverses. [3]

  9. Intervertebral foramen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intervertebral_foramen

    A number of structures pass through the IVF: spinal nerve roots, a recurrent meningeal nerve, [3] radicular arteries (where present), [4] [2]: 492–493 segmental medullary arteries (where present), [4] intervertebral veins, [5] and lymphatic vessels. [3] The posterior (dorsal) root ganglion is situated within the IVF.
