Male Pelvis Posterior View with Lumbar Spine

Image Description:

This is the male pelvis posterior view along with the lumbar spine. The pelvis is the structure that connects the axial skeleton to the lower limbs. The connecting lumbar spine is the third major region of the spine below the cervical spine and thoracic spine. The lumbar spine is made up of five vertebrae bones and each vertebra is positioned on top of the other. Between each vertebra is a gel-like cushion called an intervertebral disc. The discs help to absorb pressure, distribute stress, and prevents the bony vertebrae from grinding against one other.
