Lumbar vertebra necklace | sterling silver
The largest vertebrae in the spine built to carry the weight of everything above them.
The Anatomy of Lumbar Vertebrae
Lumbar vertebrae (L1-L5) have the largest vertebral bodies in the spine, reflecting their role in bearing the entire weight of the trunk, head, and upper limbs. Their short, blunt spinous processes project horizontally, and their large, rectangular transverse processes serve as attachment points for the powerful paraspinal muscles. The lumbar spine forms a lordosis an anterior concavity that positions the centre of gravity over the pelvis. L4/L5 and L5/S1 are the most commonly affected levels in lumbar disc herniation, compressing the L4, L5, or S1 nerve roots and producing the characteristic patterns of sciatica.
