What bones protects spinal cord?
The spinal cord is protected by the vertebral column or spinal column. The vertebral column is a collection of individual bones called vertebrae that encase and protect the spinal cord. The vertebral column is divided into three parts: seven cervical (neck) vertebrae at the top, twelve thoracic vertebrae in the midback, and five lumbar vertebrae in the lower back. Below the lumbar vertebrae, but not protecting the spinal cord, are the sacrum and coccyx (tailbone).
What are the backbones?
They are called vertebrae.
What is the the spongy material found between the vertebrae called?
The part between the vertebrae is called the intervertebral disk. In the center of the disk is a the spngey part called the nucleus pulposus.
Small bones protecting the spinal cord?
There isextension of brain in neck, thorax and abdomen in what is called as vertebral column. You have seven cervical vertebrae, twelve thoracic vertebrae and five lumber vertebrae fallowed by sacrum.In between them, you have inter-vertebral disc and various ligaments. Which keep them in position. In the hollow part of these vertebrae, there is spinal cord. It extends to the lower border of second lumber vertebrae. Down to it, there is bundle of nerves called as cauda-equina.
Where are the clavicle cervical vertebrae and scapula bone?
The clavicle is also commonly called the "collar bone." It stretches between the shoulder and the neck. The cervical vertebrae are the top of the spine: the are the first seven vertebrae going from the top of the spine down.
