thoracic verterbrae
How many neck bones does an adult have?

What joint connects the sarcum with the upper verterbrae?

How much verterbrae do most mammals have?
Ignoring the tail vertebrae (the coccyx bones in humans), most mammals have between 28 and 34 vertebrae. Toothed whales and xenarthrans may have more.
What are the twenty major bones of the skeletal system?
2 tibias, 2 ulnas, 2 radius, 2 femurs, 2 clavicles, 1 hip bone, 2 fibulas, 2 scapulas, 2 humerus, 1 sternum, 1 skull which is actually made of many bones. and then the rest of the bones are in the hands which total 54, about 27 verterbrae, all the bones in the feet which are around 40 or 50 and 12 pairs of ribs.
Does the air go through the trachea before it goes through the lungs?
I know some of it:It is cleaned from the larger particles that enters the throat with the air, like dust for example. The air is also tempered to reach body temperature and is moisturised so it's not too dry.
What is the landmark that determines the boundaries of the abdominal and pelvic cavities?
Rostral landmarks include the lower thoracic vertebrae, along with the lumbar vertebrae, and their associated ribs. Caudal landmarks include, the sacrum, coccyx, ileum and ischium and pubic bones. The bony landmarks are: iliac crest (a good place to put you hands on), anterior superior iliac spine (that "bump" you can feel on either side of your stomach if it is flat), symphysis pubis (between the legs), sacral promontory which you can not feel but is above the leaf shaped tail bone called the sacrum. Plus the lower ribs and end of the sternum.
What is found only in the cervical vertebrae?
In the cervical and thoracic area of your spine. The cervical vertebrae starts right under your skull (following what's called the occipital foramen/foramen magnum). There are 7 cervical verterbrae and they end aproximatively under your neck (in the place where you feel a small circular prominence). Right under there are the thoracic vertebrae, in the number of 12. They end, let's say, at the upper part of your lower back.
What are the main parts of the vertebrae called?
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.
What does the sacrum bone do?
The sacrum is the bone of the spinal column toward the caudal end right below the seventh lumbar vertebrae and directly above the coccyx. It is triangular in shape and comprised of five bones that are fused together.
