  16. Curvatures of The Vertebral Column Figure 7.13

  17. Regions and Normal Curvatures • Vertebral column is about 70 cm (28 inches) • Vertebral column is divided into five major regions • Cervical vertebrae – 7 vertebrae of the neck region • Thoracic vertebrae – 12 vertebrae of the thoracic region • Lumbar vertebrae – 5 vertebrae of the lower back • Sacrum – inferior to lumbar vertebrae – articulates with coxal bones • Coccyx – most inferior region of the vertebral column

  18. Regions and Normal Curvatures • Four distinct curvatures give vertebral column an S-shape • Cervical and lumbar curvatures– concave posteriorly (secondary curves) • Thoracic and sacral curvatures – convex posteriorly (primary curves) • Curvatures increase the resilience of the spine
