Lordosis: Greek lordos, ”bent backwards” - the inward curvature of a portion of the lumbar and cervical vertebral column. All spines should be lordotic to an extent, but an excessive inward curvature (often caused by anterior pelvic tilt) can cause many orthopedic problems. Orthopadische Chirurgie. Dr. August Schreiber, 1888.

medicalstate: Dorsal Musculature by dollinjune14. This musculoskeletal block has been perhaps one of the more straightforward blocks covered thus far. Having said that, what it lacks in concept difficulty it more than makes up for in the vast amount of detail. The musculoskeletal complex is such an intricate and amazing system.
