A02.2.00.002 Curvatura primaria The primary curvature of the vertebral column is a result of the ventral flexion of the embryo and persists in the thoracic (kyphosis thoracica) and pelvic (kyphosis sacralis) regions.
A02.2.00.005 Curvaturae secundariae The secondary curvatures of the vertebral column (lordosis cervicalis and lordosis lumbalis) are dorsally concave and, being produced by fetal muscular action, are initially functional rather than structural.
