GROSS ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Lordosis is the inward curve of the lumbar spine (just above the buttocks). A small degree of lordosis is normal. Too much curving is called swayback.

Detailed explanation-2: -The cervical spine curves slightly inward, sometimes described as a backward C-shape or lordotic curve. The thoracic spine curves outward, forming a regular C-shape with the opening at the front-or a kyphotic curve.

Detailed explanation-3: -Kyphotic curves are convex and toward your spine. The curvature in the sacral and thoracic spine are kyphotic curves. Lordotic curves are concave towards the spine. The lumbar and cervical parts of the spine are lordotic curves.

Detailed explanation-4: -What is Cervical Lordosis? Cervical Lordosis refers to the natural curve of the spine in the neck, known as the cervical spine. From top to bottom, a healthy spine forms an “S” shape, with a healthy cervical spine forming a gentle “C” at the top.

Detailed explanation-5: -A lordotic curve is concave (i.e. concavity towards the back of the spine), and is found in the cervical and lumbar levels of the spine.
