Muscles

Bones of the spine[1]
Structures of the lateral spine and vertebrae[1]
Vertebral columns of the back[1]
Computer-generated lateral three-dimensional (3D) image of the thoracolumbar spine shows the components of the anterior (yellow) and posterior (orange) spinal motion segments[2]
Lateral view of spinal cord topography and its different regions: cervical district (C1 to C8)), Thoracic district (T1 to T 12), Lumbar district (L1 to L5), Sacral district (S1 to S5) and Coccygeal segment. Each segment of the spinal cord directly innervates specific regions of skin and muscle districts[3]
