e
The articulation of superior and inferior articular processes from the arches of adjacent vertebrae are cartilaginous joints
QuestionChoice

c
The accessory processes are found on the posterior aspect of each superior articular process of the lumbar vertebrae
QuestionChoice
The lumbosacral joint is strengthened by the iliolumbar ligaments, however, these run from the transverse processes of L5 to the ilia of the pelvis.

b
The lumbosacral joint is strengthened by the iliolumbar ligaments, which run from the spinous process of L5 to the ilia of the pelvis
QuestionChoice
Deep back muscles attach to the accessory and mammillary processes, but not the spinous processes.

d
The spinous processes act as a site of attachment for deep back muscles
QuestionChoice
