Anatomical terms of motion

Motion, the process of movement, is described using specific anatomical terms.

See Interspinous ligament and Anatomical terms of motion

Cervical vertebrae

In tetrapods, cervical vertebrae (vertebra) are the vertebrae of the neck, immediately below the skull. Interspinous ligament and cervical vertebrae are bones of the vertebral column.

See Interspinous ligament and Cervical vertebrae

Ligament

A ligament is the fibrous connective tissue that connects bones to other bones.

See Interspinous ligament and Ligament

Ligamenta flava

The ligamenta flava (ligamentum flavum, Latin for yellow ligament) are a series of ligaments that connect the ventral parts of the laminae of adjacent vertebrae. Interspinous ligament and ligamenta flava are bones of the vertebral column and ligaments of the torso.

See Interspinous ligament and Ligamenta flava

Lumbar vertebrae

The lumbar vertebrae are located between the thoracic vertebrae and pelvis. Interspinous ligament and lumbar vertebrae are bones of the vertebral column.

See Interspinous ligament and Lumbar vertebrae

Nuchal ligament

The nuchal ligament is a ligament at the back of the neck that is continuous with the supraspinous ligament. Interspinous ligament and nuchal ligament are bones of the vertebral column.

See Interspinous ligament and Nuchal ligament

Sagittal plane

The sagittal plane (also known as the longitudinal plane) is an anatomical plane that divides the body into right and left sections.

See Interspinous ligament and Sagittal plane

Supraspinous ligament

The supraspinous ligament (also known as the supraspinal ligament) is a ligament extending across the tips of the spinous processes of the vertebra of the vertebral column. Interspinous ligament and supraspinous ligament are bones of the vertebral column and ligaments of the torso.

See Interspinous ligament and Supraspinous ligament

Thoracic vertebrae

In vertebrates, thoracic vertebrae compose the middle segment of the vertebral column, between the cervical vertebrae and the lumbar vertebrae. Interspinous ligament and thoracic vertebrae are bones of the vertebral column.

See Interspinous ligament and Thoracic vertebrae

Vertebra

Each vertebra (vertebrae) is an irregular bone with a complex structure composed of bone and some hyaline cartilage, that make up the vertebral column or spine, of vertebrates.

See Interspinous ligament and Vertebra

Vertebral column

The vertebral column, also known as the spinal column, spine or backbone, is the core part of the axial skeleton in vertebrate animals. Interspinous ligament and vertebral column are bones of the vertebral column.

See Interspinous ligament and Vertebral column
