What types of joints are between the bodies of the vertebrae of the backbone?
secondary cartilaginous joint
What are the two types cartiliginous joints?
Types of cartiliginous joints: Synchondrosis Symphysis Synchondrosis joint has bands of hyaline cartilage which unite bones and an epiphyseal plate (temporary). For example between manubrium and first rib (synarthrotic). Symphysis joint has a pad of fibrocartilage between bones. For example the pubis symphysis and the joint between bodies of vertebrae. (amphiarthrotic).
Which joint is present in the neck region?
The joint between the skull (occipital bone) and first vertebrae (atlas) is a condyloid joint (the condyles are on the occipital bone). This joint allows your head to lean forward and backward. The joint between the first vertebrae and second vertebrae (axis) is a pivot joint, which allows you to turn your head to look left or look right. (The pivot is the dens of the axis.) The other intervertebral joints I do not think fall into a clear classification, although whatever text you are using might try to put them into one category or the other for illustrative purposes. The whole column is basically held together by many ligaments, with discs between each vertebrae, which allows for a wide range of motion. The sacral and coccygeal joints, however, are fused.
Seasonal changes in wind direction associated with large landmasses and adjacent water bodies are called?
monsoon
What is the displacement between two bodies of rock called?
The displacement between two bodies of rock is called the fault.
What are the names of the fibrocartilage pads between adjacent bodies of the vertebrae?
Intervertebral discs
What is the medical term meaning the joints between adjacent vertebrae?
The facet joints are the joints between adjacent vertebrae.
What type of joints are the lateral intervertebral joints?
Between articular processes; it is a synovial joint. Plane type. Between the adjacent vertebral bodies; There is also a cartilaginous joint between the adjoining vertebrae. More specifically, it is of symphyses kind because of the fibrocartilage in the intervertebral discs and healing cartilage superiorly and inferiorly abudding it.
What separates adjacent vertebrae and soften the forces created by walking?
Intervertebral disc separates adjacent vertebral bodies.
What are the joints between the vertebrae of the backbone?
what type of joint is between bodies of vertebrae ? cartilaginous joint
What type of cartilage is found between vertebral bone?
The 12 thoracic vertebrae compose the middle segment of the vertebral column, between the cervical vertebrae and the lumbar vertebrae. They are intermediate in size between those of the cervical and lumbar regions; they increase in size as one proceeds down the spine, the upper vertebrae being much smaller than those in the lower part of the region. They are distinguished by the presence of facets on the sides of the bodies for articulation with the heads of the ribs, and facets on the transverse processes of all, except the eleventh and twelfth, for articulation with the tubercles of the ribs.
What type of joint is located in the wrist and backbone?
ball and socket
What are the features of thoraci vertebrae?
Thoracic vertebrae are between the cervical vertebrae and the lumbar vertebrae. The ones farther down the spine are larger. They have facets on the sides of the bodies for articulation with the heads of the ribs.

Explain how the joints between vertebrae permit movement?
the joint formed by the bodies of two adjacent vertebrae separated by an intervertebral disc is a symphysis joint. Each intervertebral disc is composed of a band of fibrocartilage (annulus fibrosus) that surrounds a gelatinous core (nucleus pulposus). the disc absorbs shocks and helps equalize pressure between the vertebrae when the body movies. Each disc is slightly flexible, so the combined movement of many of the joints in the vertebral column allows the back to bend forward or the the side or to twist. they are amphiarthrotic joints because these joints allow slight movement.
Does hyaline cartilage form the bodies of vertebrae?
Bone, not hyaline cartilage, forms the bodies of human vertebrae. The vertebrae are considered irregular bones.
