What are the names of the five different types of vertebrae in the vertebral column?
Vertebrae are divided into sections: the atlas and axis account for the first cervical vertebrae, of which there are 7 in total; there are 12 thoracic vertebrae, 7 lumbar vertebrae, 1 sacrum (5 separate vertebrae in a baby), and 1 coccyx (4 separate vertebrae in a baby).
Why do vertebrae have transverse processes?
to form a vertebral foramen in which the spinal cord (ad protected) is located and for attachment to posterior muscles such as erector spinae, trapezius, iliacus...
What are the three types of vertebrae?
cervical vertebrae thoracic vertebrae. lumbar vertebrae
Where is the vertebrae located in the lower back are the?
The lumbar vertebrae, there are 5 lumbar vertebrae.
What are the five categories of vertebrae in your vertebral column?
The five types of vertebra are the:cervical vertebrae (neck)thoracic vertebrae (chest)lumbar vertebrae (back)sacral (pelvis)coccyx (tailbone)
What if your spinal cord is protected by bones called?
The spinal cord is protected by the vertebrae.
What part of the nervous system protected by the vertebrae?
The spinal cord is protected by the vertebrae. It runs through a channel called the vertebral foramen, which is located above the body of the vertebra and below the spinous process.
Does vertebrae protect the cerebellum?
No, The cerebellum is protected by the skull along with most of the rest of the brain. The vertebrae serve to protect the spinal cord.
What protects your spinal?
The spinal cord is protected by the vertebrae, meninges, and CSF (cerebrospinal fluid)
The spinal cord is protected by?
It is protected by your vertebrae as well as three meninges (connective tissue converings) from inner to outer; Pia mater, Arachniod mater, and Dura mater.
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).

Are whales sharks invertebrates or vertebrates?
They both have a spinal cord protected by vertebrae. That is the key trait of all vertebrates. So whales and sharks are both vertebrates.

What are the three types of vertebrae?
cervical vertebrae thoracic vertebrae. lumbar vertebrae
What are the brain and spinal cord protected by in the human?
Your brain is protected by bone which is your skull. Your spinal cord is also protected by bone known as vertebrae. Actually in the biology textbook it is called cerebrospinal fluid.
Why back bone protects spinal card?
No one bone protects the spinal cord. The spine consists of 33 bones called vertebrae, of which the spinal cord travels through the center. These vertebrae are held in place, or supported, by ligaments and muscles. Cushions between each vertebrae are called discs. So, essentially, the spinal cord is protected by bone, discs, ligaments and the muscles.
