What is the Ligamentum Flavum?

Flavum ligamentum is a paired vertical ligament spilling between neighboring backbone vertebrae. It is called Latin for "Yellow Liga", and this group of elastic fibrous tissue helps to maintain the posture when a person sits or stands upright. It is located to the bodies of the vertebrae, but the front to the spin processes of the vertebrae, which are bony spikes, which lean down from the back of each vertebra, the Ligament of Flav consists of two parallel, united vertical lines inside the vertebral channel. They stretch from C2, the second cervical vertebra to the S1 bone, stacked bones on the base of the spine in the pan. Laminae are paired horizontal projections of bone, which consist of two bridges spanning the space between pedicles on both sides of the vertebral body and a spinned process behind it. They range from the pedicle, each bony process protruding back from both sides of the body of the vertebra and the angle towards the middle line of the spine connecting in the middle. In doing so, they create a widespread "V" that surround the back aspect of the backbone.

stretching down to a short distance from the laminate above, the ligamentum flavum attaches the lower end to the upper surface of the laminate below it. Along the external aspect of the ligament, it connects to the roots of the joint process, the pair of bony performances found that it protrudes from both sides of each vertebral where the laminate meets a pedicle. The front aspect and the inner aspect of the Ligamentum Flavum face the spinal canal, a closed vertical canal where the central nervous system containers pass through the spine. Its rear aspect is flushing with a spinous process behind it, with the paired side parts of the Ligamentum flavum Essentially connecting in the middle and creating the same "V" Laminae when viewed from above.

Increasing the thickness, when it descends from the uterine part of the spine to the lumbar part, Flav's ligament is dense with elastin fibers, built to withstand the compression force on the spine and maintain the vertical posture. In addition, this elasticity retains integrityAt the back wall of the backbone channel so that the Ligamentum Flavum does not push forward into its spine segment when the spine is in overtime. Finally, this connective tissue helps the muscles of the spine to return the spine to the neutral posture after the flexion of the spine, the effect of bending.
