Its main role is to protect the spinal cord and the main blood vessels. The axial skeleton, with its muscles and joints, provides stability for the attachment of the head, tail and limbs and, at the same time, enables the mobility required for breathing and for locomotion. Despite its great importance, the vertebral spine is often over looked by researchers because: a) vertebrae are fragile in nature, which makes their fossilization a rare event; b) they are metameric (seriated and repeated elements) that make their anatomical determination and, thus, their subsequent study difficult; and c) the plethora of bones and joints involved in every movement or function of the axial skeleton makes the reconstruction of posture, breathing mechanics and locomotion extremely difficult. ..It is well established that the spine has changed dramatically during human evolution. Spinal curvatures, spinal load transmission, and thoracic shape of bipedal humans are derived among hominoids. Yet, there are many debates as to how and when these changes occurred and to their phylogenetic, functional, and pathological implications. ..In recent ye | | 出版日期 | Book 2019 | | 关键词 | Vertebral spine; Posture; Locomotion; Hominoids; Pathology; Model vertebrates | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-19349-2 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-19351-5 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-19349-2 | | copyright | Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2019 |
