About Course

This lecture provides a comprehensive overview that focuses on the spine (vertebral column) and its anatomical components within the axial skeleton.

The lecture particularly emphasizes the clinical significance of these structures and their role in spinal stability and movement. Special attention is given to the uncovertebral joints and their biomechanical importance in the cervical spine.

 

What Will You Learn?

  • The axial skeleton's main components: skull, spine, ribs, and sternum
  • Vertebral column composition: 33 vertebrae divided into 5 segments (cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, and coccygeal)
  • Spinal curvatures: lordosis in cervical and lumbar regions, kyphosis in thoracic and sacral regions
  • Detailed osteology of vertebrae, including their basic elements and specific features
  • Thorough examination of the cervical spine's unique characteristics, particularly the C1-C7 vertebrae
  • Ligamentous system of the spine, including major ligaments and their functions
  • Anatomical features of ribs and sternum, including their classification and structural components
