Ligaments of the Vertebral Column 3D

  • Description
    • * Is supported by several ligaments, which connect the vertebrae together and help to maintain their alignment and stability.

 

  • Anterior Longitudinal Ligament
    • * Is a broad, strong band of tissue that runs along the front of the vertebral bodies, from the base of the skull to the sacrum.
    • * Helps to prevent excessive extension (backward bending) of the spine and provides additional support for the intervertebral discs.

 

  • Posterior Longitudinal Ligament
    • * Is a thinner band of tissue that runs along the back of the vertebral bodies, within the spinal canal.
    • * Helps to prevent excessive flexion (forward bending) of the spine and provides additional support for the spinal cord and nerve roots.

 

  • Ligamentum Flavum
    • * Is a yellowish, elastic band of tissue that connects the laminae (bony arches) of adjacent vertebrae.
    • * Helps to maintain the curvature of the spine and assists with movement and stability.

 

  • Interspinous Ligament ​​​​​​​
    • * Is a thin, membranous band of tissue that connects the spinous processes (bony projections) of adjacent vertebrae.
    • * Helps to limit excessive flexion of the spine and provides additional support for the muscles and ligaments of the back.

 

  • Supraspinous Ligament ​​​​​​​
    • * Is a strong, fibrous band of tissue that runs along the tops of the spinous processes, from the base of the skull to the sacrum.
    • * Helps to prevent excessive flexion and extension of the spine and provides attachment points for the muscles of the back.

 

  • Ligamentum Nuchae​​​​​​​
    • * Is a thick, elastic band of tissue that extends from the base of the skull to the spinous process of the seventh cervical vertebra.
    • * Helps to support the weight of the head and provides attachment points for the muscles of the neck and shoulders.

 

  • Intertransverse Ligaments​​​​​​​
    • * Are small, delicate bands of tissue that connect the transverse processes (bony projections) of adjacent vertebrae.
    • * Help to limit excessive rotation and lateral flexion of the spine and provide additional support for the muscles and ligaments of the back.
