In the third through seventh cervical vertebrae, the lateral one-quarter of the body is originally part of the neural arch and is formed slightly cephalad to the rest of the vertebral body. After excavation of the superior vertebral notch, the osseous prominence that remains is the uncus. The intervertebral disc is limited to the area between the anlagen of the vertebral bodies, and the portion of the intervertebral space that is lateral to the disc is occupied by loose fibrous tissue. When this tissue is resorbed it leaves a space that constitutes Luschka's joint. These anatomical findings are based on dissections of forty-five specimens comprising human fetuses and autopsy material from individuals who ranged in age from eight days to eighty-nine years.
在第三至第七颈椎，椎体外侧四分之一最初是神经弓的一部分，形成于椎体其余部分的稍头侧。在切除上位椎骨切迹后，残留的骨性隆起即为钩突。椎间盘局限于椎体原基之间的区域，椎间盘外侧的椎间空间部分被疏松纤维组织占据。当该组织被吸收时，会留下一个构成钩椎关节的空间。这些解剖学发现基于对45个标本的解剖，这些标本包括人类胎儿以及年龄从8天至89岁个体的尸检材料。
