Best Answer

Are you asking about holes? There are any number of these throughout the boney skeleton which allow nerves and blood vessels to come and go to the body and the nervous system. A "pinched nerve" is called this because these openings at times become somewhat filled with bone and the nerve is damaged (pinched) and can be very painful and can cause muscle harm. These openings can be widened through surgery.

What type of joint is a vertebrae?

Membranous bone. To remember which bones are membranous vs. cartilaginous, think of it this way: cartilage has no time to grow in the place of what will become membranous bones, though it does for cartilaginous. This means that membranous bone develops before cartilaginous bone. I don't know how true this is ontogenetically, but it works for me.As membranous bone is the type of bone which develops first, it follows that it would be the type which provides the most important protection: cranial, vertebral, facial (excluding the mandible, I believe), and if I remember correctly, the ribs, sternum, and clavian bones are all membranous bones. Limb bones are all cartilaginous.n.A bone that forms directly in membranous connective tissue, as some cranial bones, instead of developing from cartilage.Read more: membrane-bone
