Pads of are located between the vertebrae?
The pads of are located between the vertebrae are called intervertebral discs. These discs act as shock absorbers and provide cushioning between the vertebrae to support the spine's flexibility and movement. Over time, these discs can degenerate, leading to conditions like herniated discs or spinal stenosis.
Identify 5 types of joints in the human body and give an exanple of each?
Ball and socket -Arm and shoulder Pivotal joint-neck and head Hinge joint-toes Gliding joints-between vertebrae Ellipsoid joint- radiocarpal joint Saddle joint- First Carpometacarpal
Explain how the joints between vertebrae permit movement?
the joint formed by the bodies of two adjacent vertebrae separated by an intervertebral disc is a symphysis joint. Each intervertebral disc is composed of a band of fibrocartilage (annulus fibrosus) that surrounds a gelatinous core (nucleus pulposus). the disc absorbs shocks and helps equalize pressure between the vertebrae when the body movies. Each disc is slightly flexible, so the combined movement of many of the joints in the vertebral column allows the back to bend forward or the the side or to twist. they are amphiarthrotic joints because these joints allow slight movement.
Is there any disc between S1 and S2 vertebrae?
No. The L5-S1 Intervertebral disc is the last disc in the spine because the 5 segments of the sacrum and the 4 segments of the coccyx are fused (though they are seperated from each other by a ligament).
What is located between the vertebrae?
Intervertebral discs are located between the vertebrae. These discs act as cushions and provide flexibility to the spine, allowing for movement and protecting the bones from rubbing against each other.
Which joint is present in the neck region?
The joint between the skull (occipital bone) and first vertebrae (atlas) is a condyloid joint (the condyles are on the occipital bone). This joint allows your head to lean forward and backward. The joint between the first vertebrae and second vertebrae (axis) is a pivot joint, which allows you to turn your head to look left or look right. (The pivot is the dens of the axis.) The other intervertebral joints I do not think fall into a clear classification, although whatever text you are using might try to put them into one category or the other for illustrative purposes. The whole column is basically held together by many ligaments, with discs between each vertebrae, which allows for a wide range of motion. The sacral and coccygeal joints, however, are fused.

Is your vertebrae movable?
Almost all the joints between vertebrae are movable. The joints between the cervical vertebrae and lumber vertebrae have fairly good movement. Between thoracic vertebrae only you have less movement. But then they do move on each other.
What is in between each vertibrey?
Between each vertebrae in the spinal column is an intervertebral disc, which acts as a cushion and shock absorber. The discs allow for flexibility and movement of the spine and help prevent the vertebrae from rubbing against each other.
What bone is found your back?
Each individual bone in your back is a vertebra (plural vertebrae).
What keeps cartilage from rubbing together?
There is a cartilage disc between each vertebrae.
What is a zygantrum?
A zygantrum is a cavity on the vertebrae of snakes and some lizards which helps fit a pivot joint called a zygosphene inside each vertebra.
Do rattlesnakes have ribs?
Snakes can have between 130-500 vertebrae, with ribsattached to each one.

What is the synovial joint found between the carpals called?
The joints between the carpal bones in the ankles and wrists are known as Gliding Joints (a type of synovial joint). These joints work by allowing the bones to slide over each other, allowing smooth movements in multiple directions.
