![]() Vertebral bodies increase in size from superior to inferior. The body bears the majority of the force placed on the vertebra. Typical vertebrae consist of a vertebral body, a vertebral arch, as well as seven processes. While all vertebrae share most morphologic features, several notable features exist in the cervical region. The cervical vertebrae, as a group, produce a lordotic curve. The intervertebral discs, along with the laminae and the articular processes of adjacent vertebrae, create a space through which spinal nerves exit. The cervical region contains seven vertebrae, denoted C1-C7, which are the smallest of the vertebral column. The intervertebral discs are responsible for this mobility without sacrificing the supportive strength of the vertebral column. The spine has several major roles in the body that include: protection of the spinal cord and branching spinal nerves, support for the thorax and abdomen and allows for flexibility and mobility of the body. It extends from the skull to the coccyx and includes the cervical, thoracic, lumbar, and sacral regions. Lly higher in chiru as compared to sheep.Vertebrae, along with intervertebral discs, compose the vertebral column or spine. In the present study the biometrical parameters revealed that the values were genera Maximum dorso-ventral and transverse diameters at the anterior and posterior aspects of the right and left transverse opening in chiru and sheep from 3rd to 5th CV followed the increasing trend. ![]() The posterior division of transverse process of chiru was tuberous. Distance between the anterior and posterior articular processes showed increasing trend from 3rd to 5th CV in chiru.Transverse process of chiru was bifid having anterior and posterior divisions. The anterior and posterior articular processes of the same side are connected by less prominent bony plate in chiru, whereas the bony plates were comparatively prominent in sheep. Infra spinous process (ISP) was more pronounced and longer than that of succeeding typical CV. Maximum antero-posterior lengths decreased at base of 3rd to 5th, maximum heights increased from 3rd to 4th again decreased at 5th CV in chiru and gradually increased from 3rd to 5th in sheep. The 3rd and 4th supra spinous processes (SSP) were directed upwards and slightly backward whereas, the 5th CV was directed vertically in chiru. The length of the bodies gradually decreases from 3rd to 5th CV both in chiru as well as in sheep. ![]() Bodies of the typical CV, except axis were relatively longer than other CV. 3rd, 4th and 5th cervical vertebrae (CV) of Chiru and sheep. In the present study the biometrical parameters revealed that the values were generally higher in chiru as compared to sheep.Ī comparative gross anatomical study was conducted on the typical cervical vertebrae i.e. A comparative gross anatomical study was conducted on the typical cervical vertebrae i.e.
