peer agreement (net): +3articulaciones vertebrales Explanation: No se refieren solamente a las vértebras sino también a las articulaciones entre los procesos espinosos de las vértebras, los discos intervertebrales, etc. A veces se piensa que la columna vertebral es una articulación en sí misma, porque es flexible, pero esto es incorrecto. Suerte ... :o) ;) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-10-19 18:24:01 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Most of the individual vertebrae are shaped somewhat like rings; the body, or thick portion of the ring, is located towards the front portion of the body. Between each of the separate vertebrae is a thick, fibrous disc of cartilage-called an intervertebral disc-that forms the principal joint between the bodies of adjoining vertebrae; however, the vertebrae also move with each other at several other joints. http://homepages.which.net/~ks.burrell/f2/Spinal_Column.htm -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-10-19 18:29:24 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Measures of spinal curvatures have often been used by chiropactors as indicators of spinal integrity; however, the normal range of spinal cuvature has not been well established. Curvature has been considered from both structural and functional standpoints, but the true underlying factors remain a matter of conjecture. Functional descriptions of spinal curvature usually deal with balancing and stabilizing mechanisms achieved through muscle control. Structural considerations depend largely on the mechanical properties of the vertebral joints, i.e. muscle, discs, and the posterior articulations. http://www.sherman.edu/research/eowens/spinbuck.html IT\'S A MISNOMER TO TALK ABOUT VERTEBRAL JOINTS, MOST JOINTS IN THE SPINAL COLUMN ARE INTERVERTEBRAL (BUT NOT ALL, ONE MUST BE SPECIFIC) |
