Spinous process of vertebrae is a very large bone process associated with articulations with other bones. Spinous process is a bony projection off the posterior (back) of each vertebra. The spinous process protrudes where the laminae of the vertebral arch join and provides the point of attachment for muscles and ligaments of the spine.Spinous processes are the ridges that can be felt through the skin along the back of the spine. Incidents of abrupt torsion in the neck such as whiplash can cause the spinous process to fracture.
The spinous process (spine) of each vertebra projects posteriorly and often inferiorly from the laminae. The size, shape, and direction of this process vary greatly from one region of the vertebral column to the next (see individual regions). A spinous process also may normally deviate to the left or right of the midline, and this can be a source of confusion in clinical practice. Therefore a deviated spinous process seen on x-ray film or palpated during a physical examination frequently is not associated with a fracture of the spinous process or a malposition of the entire vertebra.

Human bones and the bones of other vertebrates share the same anatomical plan. They are homologous structures rather than analogous structures such as a dragonfly wing and bird wing.
