The body of each vertebra is attached to a bony ring consisting of several parts. A bony projection on either side of the vertebral body called the pedicle supports the arch that protects the spinal canal. The laminae are the parts of the vertebrae that form the back of the bony arch that surrounds and covers the spinal canal. There is a transverse process on either side of the arch where some of the muscles of the spinal column attach to the vertebrae. The spinous process is the bony portion of the vertebral body that can be felt as a series of bumps in the center of a person's neck and back.

∙ 13y agoThe spine is made up of individual vertebrae, thus, that is what "each part" is called, vertebrae.
Yes the individual bones of the spine are called verterbrae. If you are asking which parts make up the vertebrae, then here is your answer. The vertebrae are made up of the Body, the end plates, the pars interarticularis (long word, so we just call it the pars), the lamina and of course the spinous process. If you were asking what are the sections of the spine then that is a different answer. We have the cervical, Thoracic, Lumbar, Sacrum and the Coccyx (tail bone). I hope this helped you.

What are the five fused vertebrae with which the hip bones move called?

the strnum, 12 pairs of ribs, and 12 thoracic vertebrae.
What is the name of the spin bone?
The spinal column consists of 33 irregular bones called vertebrae. Starting from the neck, there are seven cervical vertebrae. The first two vertebrae have specific names and are called the atlas and axis respectively. The next 12 vertebrae are called thoracic vertebrae, followed by five lumbar vertebrae, which are the largest of the spinal bones. Next, there are approximately five sacral vertebrae that are separate from each other as a young child, but fuse together as one bone called the sacrum in adults. Finally, the coccyx, more commonly called the tailbone, consists of 3-5 small bones that fuse together in adults.
