Study of tissues
Face down
All chemical activity in body
Study of cells
Face up
Constant internal environment
Lower back
Introduction:
The lumbar spine is the lower region of the back, wherein the spine bends inward close to the abdomen. This region starts from five or sixinches below the shoulder blades and links with the thoracic spine present at the top. It then continues downward to join the sacral spine.
