Where is spine t3 and t4 of spine?

The upper to mid back vertebrae are called thoracic vertebrae, and they are referred to as T1-T12 from top to bottom. T3 & T4 are then the 3rd and 4th thoracic vertebrae from the top. They are located right between your shoulder blades (called scapulae)!
Another name for the spine?
Actually its still spine. The spine in anatomy is the combination of the vertebral column (the bone part) and the spinal chord (the nervous tissue part). that may be all right and so but there is still another wscientific word for spine and and that is dorsal and lumber vertebrate
What is the cartilage pads of the spine called?
The fibrocartilage cushions between the vertebrae in the column are named for their positions along the vertebral bodies, and are called the intervertebral disks. They have a thick outer ring of cartilage called the Annulus Fibrosus as well as a much softer center called the Nucleus Pulposus. This is not where the nerve tissue passes through, as some would suggest. Its purpose is to allow the joints to flex to some degree and to provide cushion for any axial compression that may occur. The only exception to the disk arrangement is that the first cervical vertebra does not have a body to articulate with the vertebra below it.The cartilage between the vertebrae of the spine forms the spinal discs, or intervertebral fibrocartilage. Each disc has a tough outer ring surrounding more flexible fibers that float in a protein gel. There are 23 discs in the entire spine.
What is the fibrous elastic tissue that lies between each of the bones of the spine?
Intervertebral discs are the fibrous, elastic tissue that lie between each of the bones in the spine. They function as shock absorbers.
What is a spinal cord disk?
A ringlike structure that fits between the vertebrae in the spine to protect the bones, nerves, and blood vessels. The outer layer is a tough, fibrous tissue, and the inner core is composed of more elastic tissue.
What is the inner part of your spine called?
The inner part of the spine is called the spinal cord. It is a long, thin, tubular bundle of nervous tissue and is responsible for transmitting information between the brain and the rest of the body.
What type of connective tissue in between vertebrae?
The type of connective tissue between vertebrae is called an intervertebral disc. These discs act as shock absorbers and provide flexibility to the spine. They are made up of a tough outer ring called the annulus fibrosus and a gel-like inner core called the nucleus pulposus.
Is fibrocartilage flexible and elastic?
Fibrocartilage is not as flexible or elastic as other types of cartilage. It is a dense, fibrous tissue that provides structural support and strength to areas of the body that are subject to high levels of stress or mechanical loading, such as the intervertebral discs in the spine and the knee joint.
Are vertebre and disk the same thing?
Vertebrae are the skeletal portion of the spine Disk is the tissue that acts as a shock absorber to the spine and allows for movement. The disk lies in between each vertebrae.
What tissue carries the message back and forth between your brain and spinal cord and every other part of your body?

Can your stomach really eat your back bone?

Where can you find nerve tissue?

Where would you find a lot of nerve tissue?
in th spine
