Spinous process The body is kidney- shaped in outline, and of large size, exhibiting a gradual transition from the thoracic form in the higher segments. The transverse diameter is usually about a half greater than the antero- posterior width. The anterior vertical thickness is slightly greater than the posterior, being thus adapted to the anterior con- vex curve of the column in this region. The roots of vertebral arches ( pedicles), directed horizontally backwards, are short and stout; the superior notches are shallow, but deeper than in the thoracic region; the inferior grooves are deep. The lamina are broad and nearly vertical, sloping but little. They support on their inferior margins the inferiorarticular processes. The vertebral foramen is large and triangular. The spinous processes, J spatula shaped, with a thickened posterior mar- gin, project backwards and slightly downwards. The transverse processes, more slender than in the thor- acic region, pass horizon- tally laterally, with a slight backward inclination and usually with an upward tilt. Arising from the junction of the roots of the vertebral arches with the laminae in the higher members of the series, they tend to advance so as to become fused with the lateral side of the root and posterior aspect of the body in the lower two lumbar vertebrae.
