FUNCTIONS OF LABELLED PARTS
FUNCTION OF NEURAL ARCH l
- Form the roof of neural canal
- Protects the neural canal /spinal cord
- Provides points of muscle attachment
FUNCTION OF FACET ll
- for articulation with adjacent vertebra
FUNCTION OFCENTRUM lll
- support / protect the vertebrae
- protect spinal cord
FUNCTION OFNEURAL CANAL
FUNCTION OFTRANSVERSE PROCESS
(b) DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CERVICAL VERTEBRA AND THORACIC VERTEBRA
CERVICAL VERTEBRA THORACIC VERTEBRA
- short neural spine - long neural spine
- vertebraterial canal present - vertebraterial canal is absent
- tubercular facet is absent - tubercular facet is present
- transverse process is branched - transverse process is not branched
- small centrum - large centrum
N.B The points should correlate to score
