Spinous processes.—The ifiter-spinous ligaments are thin andmembranous, and are extended between the spinous processes in thedorsal and lumbar regions. They are thickest in the latter region;and are in relation with the multifidus spinse muscle at each side. * An interaal view of the arches of three vertebrae.
