Explanation

"Transitional anatomy" refers to a variation in the structure of a person's body that is different from what is typically expected. For example, someone might have an extra bone or a bone might be shaped differently than usual. In the context of a spine, it could mean that a person has an additional vertebra or that a vertebra is in a different place than where it usually is. This is not necessarily a problem; it's just a way that some people's bodies are built.
