Description

This 3D model focuses specifically on the ligamenta flava, which are unique, elastic ligaments connecting the laminae of adjacent vertebrae from the C2 (axis) to the sacrum. These ligaments are composed of elastin fibers, allowing them to stretch and recoil during spinal movements. Their elasticity plays a vital role in maintaining upright posture, limiting sudden flexion, and protecting the spinal cord by reducing stress on the vertebral canal. The 3D model clearly demonstrates the anatomical positioning and functional importance of these ligaments, especially in activities involving dynamic spinal motion.
