Explore the zygapophyseal (facet) joints through a detailed 3D model that reveals their positioning, orientation, and structure across the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine. These plane-type synovial joints connect the articular processes of adjacent vertebrae and control the range of motion in each spinal region. Study how their alignment changes along the vertebral column and how they contribute to both mobility and load transmission. The model is ideal for learners studying spinal biomechanics or joint degeneration.
