Description

This 3D anatomical model presents an internal view of the uncovertebral joints, which are exclusive to the cervical spine from vertebrae C3 to C7. These joints form between the uncinate processes and the adjacent vertebral bodies above. The model clearly highlights the position and structure of these pseudo-joints, which help guide motion and stabilize the neck during lateral flexion. This internal perspective also emphasizes their proximity to intervertebral discs and spinal nerves, offering valuable insight into cervical spine mechanics and how these joints influence vertebral alignment and load distribution.
