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).
2 The Thoracic vertebrae is inferior to the lumbar vertebrae?
the thoracic spine is above the lumbar spine which means ALL thoracic vertebrae are superior to the 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)
Where is the vertebrae located in the lower back are the?
The vertebrae located in the lower back are known as the lumbar vertebrae. They are the five largest and strongest vertebrae in the spinal column, situated below the thoracic vertebrae and above the sacrum. The lumbar vertebrae support the majority of the body's weight and are responsible for the flexibility and movement of the lower back.
How many vertebra are there?
There are typically 33 vertebrae in the human spine: 7 cervical vertebrae, 12 thoracic vertebrae, 5 lumbar vertebrae, 5 sacral vertebrae (fused into the sacrum), and 4 coccygeal vertebrae (fused into the coccyx).
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).
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).
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 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.
How many spines does a human spinal cord have?
The human spinal cord itself does not have spines, but it is protected by the vertebral column, which consists of 33 individual vertebrae forming the spine. These vertebrae are categorized into five regions: cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, and coccygeal. The spinal cord runs through the vertebral canal formed by these vertebrae, facilitating communication between the brain and the rest of the body.
What protects your spinal cords?
