Where is the l5 vertebrae
Lumbar Vertebrae (L1-L5) Anatomy
so we look at the lumbar again if you
remember what we said we breakfast at
7:00 lunch at 12 and dinner at 5 so we
have seventh cervical vertebrae 12
thoracic vertebrae and we're gonna have
five lumbar vertebrae lumbar is really
really weight-bearing I look at the
centromere look at that body it's really
really thick body right there okay it's
a really really thick body these are
gonna be your transverse processes again
these right here your superior
articulating process with facets right
they're superior to any process of
facets and again here's our spinous
process right there spinous process
again forty before Aemon and then if you
get here's actually a better way I would
actually rather you look at the lamina
and the pedicle on this one if you look
here I were to take and wrap around that
part right there again it's that space
between the spinous process and the
trans actually go there transverse
process this right here is actually
called the lamina now if I flip it
around here sorry guys and I go in
between the body and the transverse
process this chunk right there is
actually called the pedicle okay so I
just want to show you guys that it's
better seen on that and again I'm gonna
flip it over here so you can see a
couple of parts again that's the body
and right here is your inferior
articulating process with facets and it
get me in fair ticularly process or
facets and then again vertebral canal
where the spinal cord runs through all
right what I want to do real quick
actually before I move on is if you
notice here I have a two lumbar vertebra
and if you notice right here what I
wanted to show you is these little
things here these are actually called
the intervertebral discs right here and
this is actually the one act as the
cushion basically it's kind of like a
shock absorber here and they have this
annulus fibrous tissue wrapping around
it's kind of interweaved really really
thick connective tissue and then inside
of it you have a little jail thing
called a nucleolus papoul psious and
these basically again are basically
designed to be a shock absorber and that
is a cushion so whenever the actual
vertebrae is being compressed it helps
to be able to allow for that compression
to occur and one other thing I wanted to
show you right here is if you look here
this guy right there this is actually
going to be called the inter vertebral
foramen
Tibor foramen is where your spinal
nerves run through make sure you don't
get that confused with the vertebral
foramen right there so there's the
vertebral foramen and this is the inter
vertebral foramina
okay
