APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The transverse process projects laterally from the junction of the lamina and the pedicle on each side of the vertebrae. The transverse process serves as a point of attachment for muscles that help move the vertebrae as well as ligaments that stabilize the vertebral column.

Detailed explanation-2: -Transverse process is a small bony projection off the right and left side of each vertebrae. The two transverse processes of each vertebrae function as the site of attachment for muscles and ligaments of the spine as well as the point of articulation of the ribs (in the thoracic spine).

Detailed explanation-3: -The transverse process is the bony projection on either side of your vertebrae (the bones that make up your spinal column). They’re usually caused by traumas like any other type of broken bone. Some transverse process fractures are caused by osteoporosis weakening your bones without you knowing.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cervical vertebrae provide points of attachment for numerous muscles that include erector spinae, interspinales, intertransversarii, levator scapulae, multifidus, obliquus capitis, rectus capitis, rhomboid minor, rotatores, semispinalis, splenius capitis, and trapezius.
