Correct answer: E — Adjacent spinous processes
The interspinous ligament connects adjacent spinous processes from the root to the apex of each spinous process. It lies between the more superficial supraspinous ligament (connecting the tips of the spinous processes) and the deeper ligamentum flavum (connecting adjacent laminae). It is traversed during midline epidural needle insertion between the supraspinous ligament and ligamentum flavum.
