There are two distinct sets of articulations in the vertebral column:
- Those between the bodies and intervertebral discs which form synchondroses and which are amphiarthrodial as regards movement.
- Those between the articular processes which form arthrodial joints.
The ligaments which unite the various parts may also be divided into two sets, viz. - immediate, or those that bind together parts which are in contact; and intermediate, or those that bind together parts which are not in contact.
Immediate.
- Those between the bodies and discs.
- Those between the articular processes.
Intermediate.
- Those between the laminae.
- Those between the spinous processes.
- Those between the transverse processes.
