The first back bone is called as atlas. The Atlas is said to have lifted the earth. This atlas 'lifts' the skull.
Atlas
Neck
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 individual bones of the spine are called "Vertebrae"
The five vertebrae that are fused within the pelvic bones are the sacral vertebrae, as well as a few vestigal caudal vertebrae that are called the coccyx in humans.
There are seven cervical (C1-C7) vertebrae. The top two are unique in form and number three through seven are similar in morphology. The uppermost is the atlas (C1) which supports the skull, and the next is the axis (C2), where much if the rotation takes place. The body of the atlas is the odontoid process of the axis (c2), and the atlas (c1) rotates around this.
The spinal column consists of 33 irregular bones called vertebrae. Starting from the neck, there are seven cervical vertebrae. The first two vertebrae have specific names and are called the atlas and axis respectively. The next 12 vertebrae are called thoracic vertebrae, followed by five lumbar vertebrae, which are the largest of the spinal bones. Next, there are approximately five sacral vertebrae that are separate from each other as a young child, but fuse together as one bone called the sacrum in adults. Finally, the coccyx, more commonly called the tailbone, consists of 3-5 small bones that fuse together in adults.
The atlas is the uppermost vertebrae in the neck.
From Greek mythology, because it supports the 'globe' of 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 individual bones of the spine are called "Vertebrae"
its called topsoil.
It is called 'topsoil'
It is called the epidermis
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.
