Kyphosis is the deformity of vertebral column at .................... .
Answer: C
Kyphosis is a deformity at the thoracic region.
Kyphosis is an exaggerated backward (convex) curve of the upper back, giving a rounded back or hunchback. The thoracic spine is normally slightly convex backwards, and kyphosis is an excess of that curve, often linked to poor posture, weak back muscles or osteoporosis.
An exaggerated inward curve of the lumbar region is lordosis, and a sideways curve is scoliosis. The cervical and coccygeal regions are not where kyphosis is defined.
