There are several distinguishing features which can enable any anatomist to distinguish between a vertebrae from one section of the body to another. The distinctions are not artificial. gfd Lumbar vertebrae havev large bodies, no ribs attached, and large transverse processes.

About the preface

It says that the spinal cord is hollow and contains the spinal column. Surely it means to say that the spinal canal is hollow and contains the spinal column? Hogger1 (talk) 10:11, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

Your quote is wrong. The content is correct: "The center of the spinal cord is hollow and contains a structure called the central canal, which contains cerebrospinal fluid." -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 18:09, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

@Valjean Oh, you're right. The confusion was caused by the wrong link; the Finnish link from the Central Canal article leads to a Finnish article of the Spinal Canal. Hogger1 (talk) 15:07, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

Spinal cord memory

Yep, you read that heading right. Someone with more WP:MEDRS chops than I have should consider how to integrate this into the article once this gets to secondary & tertiary sources.
