A manual of examinations : upon anatomy, physiology, surgery, practice of medicine, chemistry, obstetrics, materia medica, pharmacy and therapeutics, especially designed for students of medicine, to which is added a medical formulary . l canal ?—The spinal marrow, its vesselsand involucra. Where are the oblique or articular processes of the vertebrae situ-ated ?—Above and below the posterior part of the body. Where are the transverse processes situated ? —At the sides of thering. Where are the spinous processes situated ? — At the back of thering. Where are the notches of the vertebrae situated ? — On each side,between the body and ring, there are four notches, two being situatedsuperiorly, and two inferiorly. What is the use of these notches ?—When two vertebrae are joinedtogether, these notches form holes which serve to transmit the spinalnerves. 3* 30 ANATOMY. Wliat is the internal structure of the vertebrse ? — They are of aspongy texture. How are the vertebrae connected ? — They are connected to eachother by their bodies, and by their articular processes, ligaments, in-tervertebral substance, &c. CERVICAL VERTEBRA, What are the peculiarities of the cervical vertebrse ? — The bodies Fig. (Fig. 1.) are small, flattened anteriorly, andthinner than the other vertebrae,* theirupper sides are concave from side to side,and their lower hollowed from before back-ward. ^The spinal foramen is large and tri-angular. ^ The superior and inferior inter-vertebral notches are nearly equal in depth.* Their spinous processes are straighterand forked at the extremity. ^ The trans-verse processes are shorter, slightly bifur-cated, and perforated perpendicularly attheir bases,^ and are grooved on their upperside.^ The oblique processes are moreoblique than those of the other vertebrse, the superior presentingupwards and backwards, the inferior downwards and forwards.^ What is the name of the first vertebra ? — It is called the atlas.(Fig. 2.)
