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.
For articulations, you will need to identify the name of the
joint, the bones that articulate to form the joint, the structural
and functional classifications of the joints, and the movements
these joints can do. Ligaments will be bonus points on the
practical, if asked.

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.
Comparing and contrasting the anatomy of similar organisms assists
with understanding of how the body is put together.
Check out the limbs figure on this webpage: Homologous
Structures. Pick one of the animal limbs for the discussion below
(horse, cat, bat, bird, or whale limb).
