Anatomy of the Spine!
The spinal column is one of the most important parts of the body, as it plays a hand in all bodily junctions. Some obvious 🦵🏾, others with essential tasks not so obvious. 💩
.
.
.
The spine is composed of 33 bones, called vertebrae, divided into five sections: the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine sections, and the sacrum and coccyx bones.
.
.
.
The cervical spine comprises the top seven vertebrae in the spine, C1 to C7, and is connected to the base of the skull. Motions with exaggerated comments like “What’s up?” “Who was that?” “I know, you told me already”—- head and neck around. That’s me!!!!
.
.
.
The thoracic section of the spine comes next. The vertebrae in this section are labeled T1 to T12 and serve as attachments for the rib cage. Hugging. Burping #notatthesametime #rude 😄. Thoracic spine has a great deal of mobility including flexion (bending forward), extension (bend backward) and rotation (twisting) 💃🏼 🕺🏻
.
.
.
Moving down, the lumbar section L1 to L5, are the main weight-bearing section of the spinal column. Motion above the 🍑, giving ability to twerk that 🍑 💫
.
.
.
The sacrum is the section located at the base of the spine. It does not have discs separating the vertebrae, its five levels, S1 to S5, are fused together. The pelvis is connected to the spinal column at the sacrum section. 🥅
.
.
.
The coccyx #whatdidyoucallme is at the very base of the spinal column and is made of four vertebrae that are fused together also.
.
.
.
That’s it. Now you can nod no, grab your purse from the back seat, bend over backwards for your boss and get off your “sit bones” in yoga class. Until next time…..
