| Abstract: | To elucidate whether the position of axis for rotation at the intervertebral
joint is related to the spinal curvature, the authors investigated the spinal columns of
rats. The spinal column of the rat was composed of 7 cervical, 13 thoracic, 6 lumbar, 4
sacral, and 27 coccygeal vertebrae. It was observed that the position of axis for rotation
at the intervertebral joint was shifted on the superior and inferior views of the 2nd
thoracic vertebra and was next shifted on the superior and inferior views of the 10th
thoracic vertebra. X-ray examination demonstrated that lordosis was seen in the
cervical and lower 1umbar (L4-L6) spine, whereas kyphosis was seen in the thoracic and
upper lumbar (Ll-L3) spine. The present study did not support the possibility that the
position of axis for rotation at the intervertebral joint was dorsal in the spinal site of
lordosis, whereas it was ventral in the spinal site of kyphosis. |
