Typical type of vertebrae containing formula in the transverse process?
The typical type of vertebrae containing foramina in the transverse process are cervical vertebrae. These foramina are called transverse foramina, and they allow for the passage of the vertebral artery and vein in the cervical spine.
Transverse foramina are found in the?
Transverse foramina are found in the cervical vertebrae of the spine. They are openings on the sides of these vertebrae that allow passage of the vertebral arteries and veins which supply blood to the brain.
What features does cervical vertebrae from other vertebrae?
Cervical vertebrae are smaller and more agile compared to other vertebrae in the spine. They have a unique bifid (split) spinous process and transverse foramina that allow passage of blood vessels to the brain. Additionally, they support the weight of the head and provide a greater range of motion for neck movements.
What bone contains a transverse foramen bifid spine and small body?
The vertebrae that contain a transverse foramen, bifid spine, and small body is the cervical vertebrae. The seventh cervical vertebra (C7), also known as the vertebra prominens, typically has these characteristics.
Does C1 atlas have a transverse foramen?
Yes, the C1 vertebra (atlas) does not have a transverse foramen. This feature is unique to the following vertebrae in the cervical spine, starting from C2.
What is narrowing of Neural Foramina?
Narrowing of the neural foramina is the constriction of the nerve passageways, or foramina, in the spine. This results in compression of the nerve.
What its encroachment of the right and left foramina?
It's basically compression of your spine by the surrounding canal in the specific area your doctor is speaking of. Foramina, in this case, are the spaces in between your vertebrae. Encroachment is squeezing or compression of those spaces. I have bilateral bony foraminal encroachment of some of the disc spaces of my C spine. It doesn't normally bother me at all, though.
How many vertebrae does a giraffe have?
Giraffes possess seven vertebrae (although disputed by some zoologists who claim that it has eight)A giraffe has 50 vertebrae in total... seven in the cervical, seven in the spine and I am not sure about the rest...
Which area of the spine has the most vertebrae?

What is the name of the two lateral processes in the vertebrae and what is their function?
The two lateral processes in a vertebrae are called transverse processes. Their main function is to provide attachment points for muscles and ligaments that help stabilize and move the spine.
The ribs are attached posteriorly to the what?
The ribs are attached posteriorly to the thoracic vertebrae of the spine through their articulation with the costal facets located on the bodies and transverse processes of the vertebrae. This connection allows for rib movement during breathing and provides structural support for the rib cage.
What is found only in the cervical vertebrae?
In the cervical and thoracic area of your spine. The cervical vertebrae starts right under your skull (following what's called the occipital foramen/foramen magnum). There are 7 cervical verterbrae and they end aproximatively under your neck (in the place where you feel a small circular prominence). Right under there are the thoracic vertebrae, in the number of 12. They end, let's say, at the upper part of your lower back.
