There is a hook-shaped uncinate process on the side edges of the top surface of the bodies of the third to the seventh cervical vertebrae and of the first thoracic vertebra. Together with the vertebral disc, this uncinate process prevents a vertebra from sliding backward off the vertebra below it and limits lateral flexion (side-bending).

The bodies of rhachitomous vertebrae are divided into two parts, the pleurocentrum and intercentrum, with the intercentrum making up most of the vertebra. The pleurocentrum is enlarged in schizomerous tetrapods, fusing with the neural arch to form a solid vertebra in living tetrapods. The dashed line indicates the uncertain placement of ...
Human Vertebral Column Vertebra Superior View. 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 ...
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).
