There are seven processes projecting from the vertebra; a "'spinous process "', two transverse processes, and four articular processes.

It is found largely in the upper spinous layer of epidermal keratinocytes and mutations in the gene encoding this protein have been associated with ichthyosis bullosa of Siemens.
43.
Spinous cells serve as a physical and biological barrier to the environment, preventing penetration by irritants and allergens and loss of water while maintaining internal homeostasis.
44.
The keratin accumulates within each spinous cell as it moves upward through the epidermis layers, until the cell is almost completely filled with hardening keratin ( keratinisation ).
45.
They differ from " Rutilus " by the lack of spinous tubercles on scales and head in reproductive males, and also in the pharyngeal teeth formula.
46.
The team announced Monday that Hilliard, its No . 1 draft choice, had sprained the interspinous ligament, which connects protruding parts of the vertebrae known as spinous process.
47.
The first of the two dorsal fins is spinous, with 4-8 spines; in some species, this fin is completely overgrown with skin and therefore not visible.
48.
Like other fish of the family Sciaenidae, it has an elongated, soft dorsal fin witn scales; it is separated from the spinous dorsal fin by a deep notch.
49.
There are barbels on the corners of its lips, and its common name likely comes from the first spinous ray of its dorsal fin, which is sharp-pointed.
50.
The diagnostic characters are naked parallel-sided axes branching isotomously, terminating in vertically elongate sporangia ( spore-forming organs ) which bear spinous emergences particularly at the distal ends.
