<\/p>\n

The bodies of adjacent vertebrae are strongly anchored to each other in their anterior part by an intervertebral disc. This structure provides padding between the bones during weight bearing, and because it can change shape, also allows for movement between the vertebrae. The vertebral arches, posteriorly, provide extra anchorage.
\n Although the total amount of movement available between any two adjacent vertebrae is small, when these movements are summed together along the entire length of the vertebral column, large body movements can be produced. Ligaments that extend along the length of the vertebral column also contribute to its overall support and stability.
\n The articulations of the vertebral column consist of: <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. a series of Plane Joint – Arthrodial Joint (amphiarthrodial joints) between the vertebral bodies: see the intervertebral discs.<\/li>\n
  2. and another series of Plane Joint – Arthrodial Joint (diathrodial joints) between the vertebral arches: see Articulations of Vertebral Arches.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    In general, the movements permitted in the vertebral column are: flexion, extension, lateral movement, circumduction, and rotation. <\/p>\n
