Anatomy of The Head Neck Spine Booklet

1. The skull is made up of several bones including the frontal, parietal, temporal, sphenoid, maxilla, mandible, zygomatic, and occipital bones. These bones form the protective structure of the head and house important brain structures. 2. The vertebral column, also known as the spine or backbone, extends from the base of the skull down to the coccyx. It is made up of 33 vertebrae divided into 5 groups that provide support, protection, and motion. 3. Key curves of the spine include lordosis in the lower back and kyphosis in the upper back, which help support the weight of the body. Intervertebral discs
