(Your head, actually) This bone is formed by fused vertebrae, and it supports the entire vertebral column. This portion of the vertebra supports the weight of the body. You can palpate this part of the vertebra by reaching behind you and feeling the middle of your back. This feature connects transverse process to the body of a vertebra. This feature connects the transverse processes of a vertebra with its spinous process These vertebrae have foramina through the transverse processes These vertebrae have large bodies and short, blunt spinous processes.
