( Lamina of the vertebral arch)
The laminæ are two broad plates, extending dorsally and medially from the pedicles, fusing to complete the roof of the vertebral arch. Their upper borders and the lower parts of their anterior surfaces are rough for the attachment of the ligamenta flava. The name derives from the Latin word "lamina," which refers to a thin plate, sheet, or layer. Median sagittal section of two lumbar vertebræ and their ligaments.
