Introduction

Articular surfaces are parts of bones that form joints. Joints are the parts of the skeletal system that are required for movement. 

The spinal vertebrae are divided into 4 sections:

1. Cervical (C1-C7) 

2. Thoracic (T1-T12) 

3. Lumbar (L1-L5) 

4, Sacrum (S1-S5)

5. Coccyx - single bone
