About Vertebral Column and Back
GoConqr OriginalWhat this unit covers
The resources follow the spine from its bones to its muscles and its common problems. The mind map The Spine sets out the basic structure: 33 bony segments, 24 separate vertebrae and 9 fused ones in the sacrum and coccyx, plus facet joints and ligaments. The flashcard deck Introduction to Vertebral Column compares cervical, thoracic and lumbar vertebrae by body, foramen and processes.
Where to start
Begin with an overview, then narrow down by region.
- Open The Spine for the big picture.
- Work through Introduction to Vertebral Column to learn the differences between regions.
- Move to detail: superior view of axis c2 covers the dens, pedicle, lamina and facets, and chapter 9 lumbar anatomy covers the intervertebral foramina and vertebral notches.
- Try IVD and the functional anatomy of the back for disc components and function.
Muscles, ligaments and clinical cases
The Human Back is a mind map of the superficial, intermediate and deep muscles, with the trapezius, rhomboids, latissimus dorsi and serratus muscles. Many maps titled Taxi Driver start from a patient case and move through ligaments and muscle layers, including the erector spinae. Loco: 4. The Chef's Back follows a 36-year-old with low back and leg pain. There are also maps on sciatica and low back pain.
Using quizzes and maps together
Read a map first, then take a quiz on the same region. Quizzes such as Cervical Vertebrae, Lumbar Vertebrae, Thoracic Vertebrae and Spinal regions show what you remember. Note the gaps, return to the matching map or deck, and test again. Teachers can use the same sets as ready-made material for a class.
Where it fits
This unit sits in the strand Regional Anatomy: Head, Neck and Back, within Anatomy. The quiz Head, Neck and Back MCQ's reflects that wider strand.

Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I open first?
Start with the mind map The Spine. It lays out the bony segments, vertebrae, facet joints and ligaments in one view. Then try the flashcard deck Introduction to Vertebral Column, which compares cervical, thoracic and lumbar vertebrae, before moving on to a regional quiz.
What do the mind maps cover?
They cover the structure of the spine, ligaments, cervical discs and the layers of back muscle. Several follow patient cases, such as the Taxi Driver maps and the chef with low back pain. Others look at sciatica, back pain and the vessels of the spine.
Are the resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. A free account also saves your quiz scores and lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.
Who made these resources?
They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself. Over 120 contributors have added material to this page. Because the sets come from different people, titles and styles vary, so it's worth opening a few on the same topic.
Which levels is this page suited to?
It is almost entirely university-level material, with a small share aimed at professionals. It suits university students revising the vertebral column and back, and teachers looking for ready-made quizzes, maps and flashcards to use with a class.
What if the topic I need is missing?
Look at neighbouring titles first, since regions overlap. The cervical, thoracic, lumbar and sacrum sets often cover shared ideas. If nothing fits, you can build your own mind map or flashcards once you have a free account.
