The Spine is made up of many smaller bones, which is what allows flexing and movement of the spine. Please see the related links for a detailed picture of the bones that make up the spine.
It is made up of your vertebrae column.your vertebrae is your spine, aka your back bone....
The sacral bone is a large, triangular bone at the base of the spine that forms the back of the pelvis. It is made up of five fused vertebrae and connects the spine to the hip bones. The sacrum plays an important role in providing structural support and stability to the spine and pelvis.
Skeletons are made up of a system of bones in the body.
A single, long bone would be rigid, to make a spine that will bend it has to be made of smaller articulated units.
You back bone refers to the spinal column in the human skeleton. The spine is made up of 24 vertebrae and can be divided into three parts: the Cervical spine (top), the thoracic spine (middle) and the lumbar (lower back).
No, it is made up of 7 cervical vertebrae, 12 thoracic vertebrae and 5 lumbar vertebrae. Click on 'related links' below and the link will take you to a picture of the spine.
The bone that runs up the middle of the human back is called the spine or vertebral column. It is made up of individual vertebrae stacked on top of each other, providing support and protection to the spinal cord.
The bone that you are referring to is likely the coccyx, which is also known as the tailbone. It is located at the base of the spine and is made up of several small fused bones.
The bone that forms the back bone is the spine. The spine is composed of vertebrae. It is the chief support of organizing the nervous system.
The pelvis is made up of three bones; the ilium, the ischium, and the pubic bone. Attached to the back of the pelvis is the sacrum/coccyx which are two bones made of multiple vertebrae that are fused together. Also connected to the pelvic bone is the head of the femur (thigh bone) which sits in the acetabulum of the pelvis and creates the acetabulofemoral joint also known as the hip joint.
No, the spine is not considered a long bone. Long bones, like those found in the arms and legs, have a cylindrical shape with growth plates at each end, while the spine is made up of individual vertebrae stacked on top of each other to form the backbone.
