What else can I help you with?
Do seal have a backbone?
Yes they are vertebrates.
Are the ribs of a snake near the backbone?
As in all vertebrates, the ribs start from the backbone and curve around to the ventral or anterior plane. In snakes there is no sternum, so the ribs are free-floating. However, they do curve all the way from the backbone to the belly the entire length of the snake.
How are the scapulae attached to the ribs?
The scapulae (shoulder blades) are not directly attached to the ribs; they are attached to the clavicles (collarbones) at the acromioclavicular joint. The ribs are connected to the spine and sternum through cartilage, forming the ribcage which protects the internal organs. The scapulae move along the ribs due to the muscles and ligaments surrounding the shoulder joint.
What organ does the backbone protect?
The spinal cord is contained within the vertebral column (backbone). Ribs attach to the vertebral column, so in that sense, you could say the contents of the thoracic cavity (lungs and heart) are also protected by the vertebrae, as ribs arise from the vertebrae. But only the spinal cord lies within the backbone itself. It does not directly protect any organs.
How do the backbone and ribs protect the internal part of the body?

Do Eels have a backbone skull and ribs?
Yes they do.Yes. The backbone of the eel is made up of hundreds of little vertebrae so they are extremely flexible.
What ribs connect directly to the sternum?
The first seven ribs connect directly to the sternum via costal cartilage. These ribs are known as "true ribs" or vertebrosternal ribs.
Which part is attached to backbone?
There are many,skull,ribs,sacrum,clavicle
Which ribs are not attached to the sternum?
Only the true ribs are attached to the sternum the false ribs (3) and the floating ribs (2) are not directly attached. The flalse ribs are attached indirectly via cartillage and the floating ribs are not attached at all.
Do all ribs directly or indirectly articulate with the sternum?
No, not all ribs directly articulate with the sternum. Ribs 1 to 7 directly articulate with the sternum, while ribs 8 to 10 indirectly articulate with the sternum through the costal cartilages of the ribs above them. Ribs 11 and 12 are floating ribs that do not articulate with the sternum at all.
Slightly movable joints?
allow only slight movement.The joints present between the vertebrae of the backbone and the joints between the ribs and the breastbone are the examples of slightly movable joints.
Do clams have skull backbone and ribs?
No, clams do not have a skull, backbone, or ribs. They are bivalve mollusks, which means their body is soft and protected by a hard shell, but they lack the skeletal structures found in vertebrates. Instead of a backbone, clams have a muscular foot and a mantle that helps protect their internal organs.
