How did titanium get its symbol?

Look in Wikipedia:The name Titan, and the names of all seven satellites of Saturn then known, come from John Herschel (son of William Herschel, discoverer of Mimas and Enceladus) in his 1847 publication Results of Astronomical Observations Made at the Cape of Good Hope.[15] He suggested the names of the mythological Titans, sisters and brothers of Cronos, the Greek Saturn.


Can the vertebra that affect hair follicles being out of alignment cause bumps and sores on scalp?

First, there is no single vertebra that affects hair follicles. It is possible that if your spine is unhealthy then so will be the rest of your body, and ultimately this could affect your hair follicles to some extent, but the bumps and sores on your head are most certainly not a result of spine health. A doctor of chiropractic is not the right specialist for this problem. Doctors of chiropractic specialize in the spine and general neuromusculoskeletal function. This sounds more like a fungal infection (tinea capitis perhaps?). This is likely a condition best left to a different type of specialist known as a dermatologist. Make an appointment with your medical doctor to get a professional opinion.
