Translations:Aufbau Wirbel/1/en

The vertebrae are individual bony elements from which the Spine is constructed. In their outer shape, they follow a fundamentally identical form. Exceptions are the first two cervical vertebrae, Atlas and Axis, which have a different structure. The exact shape of the individual vertebrae depends on their position in the spinal column. Therefore, the individual vertebrae from Cervical spine, Thoracic spine and Lumbar spine differ slightly in their outer appearance.
