The spinal forms the central axis of the skeleton, supports the skull, and gives attachment to the thoracic cage, pectoral girdle, and upper limb. It combines strength with great flexibility as it has many joints close together. Introduction :
The spinal, or backbone, is a bony structure that supports body . It connects different parts of musculoskeletal system, which includes body's bones and muscles. Structure of the spinal column
The spinal column is numbered and divided into 5 regions : cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacrum, and coccyx. The spinal column are the 33 individual bones that interlock with each other to form the spinal column. Parts of spinal column
The movements in the spinal column are Flexion Extension Rotation & Lateral flexion Movements of the spinal column
Spinal flexion is necessary for everyday movements. During activities, it allows for an even distribution of forces along the spine . It prevents stiffness or rigidity in the spine. Flexion of spinal column
Extension is the returned movement from flexion . This movement occurs most freely in the cervical and lumber regions. P articularly at the Lumbosacral Junction. In the thoracic region hyper extension is limited by the overlapping of the specious processes. Extension of spinal column
Movement of a body part to the side is called lateral flexion . This type of movement is associated with the neck and spine. Spinal rotation was defined the angle between the longitudinal axis of the vertebrae. Lateral Flexion & Rotation
Movements of the spinal column
T he thorax is the region of the body formed by the sternum, the thoracic vertebrae, and the ribs . Structure of thorax :
The primary motion of ribs occurs during inspiration and expiration. During inspiration, the anteroposterior diameter of the thorax is increased when the ribs are raised. Movements of the Thorax Movements of the Thorax
The vertebrosternal ribs also follow a pump handle motion, which raises sternum and increases the anterior-posterior dimensions of the thorax. Movements of the Thorax
