Centrum of a vertebra

the ossification center of the central mass of the body of a vertebra. [Usage note: The term is often erroneously used as a synonym for the body of a vertebra; however, the centrum is less than the body, the body including the anteriormost parts of the neural arches and the neurocentral joint (fusion).]
