The upper lumbar vertebrae lie at a ____ degree and the lower lumbar lie at a ____ degree. 30; 50
What is the pars interarticularis? the portion of the lamina between the superior and inferior articulating processes
How many "sets" (pairs) of sacral foramina are there on the sacrum? 4
Where are the alae or wings located? lateral to the first sacral segment
The 2 SAPS of the sacrum articulate with the IAPS of the 5th lumbar vertebrae to from what joint? zygo
Where is the sacral promontory? the anterior ridge of the first sacral segment
The sacral canal lies posterior to the body of the ________; this is continuation of _______. first sacral segement; spinal canal
What is the median sacral crest formed by? fusion of the spinous processes
At what surface does the sacrum articulate with the ilium at? auricular surface
What represents the IAPS for the 5th sacral segment? sacral horns or cornau
