Questions about the The Spine poster

What’s on the The Spine poster?

A 5-row table: Region · Vertebrae · Curve. From the skull down. Cervical (neck) — 7 — Inward (lordosis); Thoracic (chest) — 12 — Outward (kyphosis); Lumbar (lower back) — 5 — Inward (lordosis); Sacrum — 5 fused — Outward; Coccyx — 4 fused — Outward. Discs sit between the vertebrae and act as shock absorbers. They lose water through the day — you are shorter at night.

Who is the The Spine poster for?

The Spine belongs to the Body & health section rather than to a school year, because health is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning anatomy can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.

When should you use the The Spine poster?

The spine is not straight and should not be. The curves are what absorb load. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so The Spine belongs on the wall where that health work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.

What other posters go with The Spine?

Blood, Blood Types and The Body Systems sit alongside The Spine in the Body & health section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.BloodBlood TypesThe Body Systems

Is the The Spine poster free to download and print?

Yes. The Spine downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Body & health section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence

What size does the The Spine poster print at?

The Spine is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of The Spine loses nothing.Printing guide
