1. body:
2. transverse process (3 examples):
3. spinous process:
4. laminae:
5. vertebral foramen:
superior articular process:
inferior articular process:
Cervical (C1 - C7):
1. "atlas" (C1)
2. "axis" (C2):
"dens" is the nub sticking out at the top (axis, superior view). |
cervical vertebrae are the ONLY vertebrae that have transverse foramina (axis, inferior view) |

Thoracic (T1 - T12) - typical vertebrae:
(thoracic vertebrae, inferior view) |

Lumbar (L1 - L5):
lumbar vertebrae have very LARGE "bodies", NO transverse foramina, and relatively short spinous processes. |
Sacral (S1 - S5) - 5 fused bones:
Coccyx (Co1 - Co4) - 4 little bones on average:
