The first back bone is called as atlas. The Atlas is said to have lifted the earth. This atlas 'lifts' the skull.
They are called vertebrae. Specifically in the neck they are called cervical vertebrae, the lower back are called lumbar vertebrae and the mid back around the ribcage are called thoracic vertebrae.
Thoracic Vertebra
The individual bones of the spine are called vertebrae. There are 33 vertebrae in total, categorized into five regions: cervical (neck), thoracic (upper back), lumbar (lower back), sacral (pelvis), and coccygeal (tailbone).
Vertebrae
The last 4 fused vertebrae in the spine are called the sacrum. The sacrum is a triangular bone located below the lumbar vertebrae and is formed by the fusion of five sacral vertebrae.
The atlas is the uppermost vertebrae in the neck.
From Greek mythology, because it supports the 'globe' of the head.
Cervical vertebrae, C1-C7, are located in the neck and perform the specialized task of supporting the head while it moves around. C1-C7 allow extreme flexibility and range of motion for the head.
They are called vertebrae. Specifically in the neck they are called cervical vertebrae, the lower back are called lumbar vertebrae and the mid back around the ribcage are called thoracic vertebrae.
The lowest thoracic and uppermost lumbar vertebrae are broken into multiple pieces.
The vertebrae in the neck region are called cervical vertebrae. There are seven cervical vertebrae labeled C1 to C7, with C1 being closest to the skull and C7 being closest to the thoracic vertebrae.
It is called 'topsoil'
Thoracic Vertebra
The uppermost step on which an altar is typically placed is called the predella.
They are called vertebrae.
The individual bones of the spine are called vertebrae. There are 33 vertebrae in total, categorized into five regions: cervical (neck), thoracic (upper back), lumbar (lower back), sacral (pelvis), and coccygeal (tailbone).
The uppermost layer of soil is called topsoil. This layer is where most plants grow and where organic matter accumulates, providing nutrients for plant growth.
