About the lumbar vertebra 1 of the pig
Lumbar vertebra 1 is a bone of the body (trunk), a single structure on the midline. Its name in the Nomina Anatomica Veterinaria is Vertebra lumbalis I. You can turn it above, see it in place in the body of the pig, and open it inside the whole animal in Vetomica.
Measured on the specimen
What the lumbar vertebra 1 is in contact with in the model itself, with the share of the other structure’s surface it covers. A contact is not always a joint: bones that simply lie against one another are in this list too.
Measured on the left side.
