"The primate vertebral column shows a basic mammalian pattern of components, including an “anticlinal” vertebra situated in the mid-thoracic (upper-back) region of the spinal column and marking the transition between the forelimb and hind limb segments. In a galloping greyhound, the anticlinal vertebra is at the apex of the acute curve of the back. An anticlinal vertebra is characteristic of all quadrupeds and is seen in all primate families except the apes, whose posture is upright or semiupright."
But some human anatomy discussions do use the term, so the definition for humans and other upright primates must not be the same as for quadrupeds. DCDuring TALK 22:04, 14 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
