Vertebral Column

The 3D model of the vertebral column showcases the spine's complex structure, including cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, and coccygeal regions.

  • Cervical Spine (7 Vertebrae): Supports the head and allows for a range of movements.

  • Thoracic Spine (12 Vertebrae): Anchors the ribs and supports the upper body.

  • Lumbar Spine (5 Vertebrae): Provides stability and supports the body's weight.

  • Sacrum and Coccyx: Fuse to form the base of the spine, connecting with the pelvis.

Each region's unique characteristics and key landmarks, like the vertebral foramen, spinous processes, and intervertebral discs, are interactively displayed, highlighting their functional significance in flexibility and protection of the spinal cord.
