Vertabrae
These vertebrae are considered the largest and thickest of the entire column.
Lumbar

This legendary Jedi Master spent his final years hiding in the swamps of Dagobah.
Yoda
This section of the spine consists of seven vertebrae and is particularly vulnerable to sports injuries.
Cervical
This is the specific lumbar vertebra most likely to slip as a result of spondylolisthesis
L5
Sports movements that characteristically hyperextend the spine are most likely to cause this condition.
Spondylolysis
During palpation to assess the spine of an injured athlete, they should be instructed to lie in this position.
Han Solo famously claimed that this ship "made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs."
Millennium Falcon
This structure is formed by the fusion of five vertebrae and constitutes the pelvis.
Sacrum
This is considered the most common cervical neurological injury in an athlete, often involving burning or tingling.
Pinched nerve (or stinger/burner)
This specific combination of movements is the most common mechanism for a low back strain.
Sudden extension with trunk rotation
This discernible physical sign is the best way to tell the difference between a cervical dislocation and a fracture.
Position of the neck
This was the designated number for the order given to the Clone Troopers to eliminate the Jedi.
Order 66
These two specific cervical vertebrae permit rotation of the head.

The Thoacis is a deep muscle primarily responsible for these two motions of the spine
