Description

Study the 3D anatomical model of the zygapophyseal (facet) joints. These joints are formed between the superior and inferior articular processes of adjacent vertebrae and are surrounded by a joint capsule lined with synovial membrane. The model reveals the orientation and articulation of these joints, which greatly influence the range and direction of spinal motion. These joints allow for flexion, extension, rotation, and lateral bending while maintaining vertebral alignment.
