Facet joints are formed by the overlapping of the projections from the lamina. The upper projection of one lamina (superior articular process) is overlapped by the lower projection (inferior articular process)  of the adjacent vertebra, and together form the facet join. There is a facet joint on each side of the spine at every level.
