vertebrae make up the spine (backbone) of vertebrate animals.
The sternum and ribs belong to the axial skeleton.
Yes, vertebrae are considered irregular bones. Irregular bones have complex shapes that do not fit into any other bone classification category. Vertebrae have unique shapes and functions that distinguish them from other bone types.
Vertebrae are the bones that comprise the spine of animals with backbones.
Earthworms do not have bones, vertebrae and thus are invertebrates. in=not + vertebrate=bones/vertebrae
The category of bones that support the body's weight and work with muscles to provide movement is called the skeletal system. It includes bones such as the femur, tibia, and vertebrae, which support the body and articulate with muscles to allow for movement.
The vertebrae consist of the vertebral body, spinous process, transverse process, and articular processes. There are 33 vertebrae in total, including 7 cervical vertebrae, 12 thoracic vertebrae, 5 lumbar vertebrae, 5 sacral vertebrae (fused into the sacrum), and 4 coccygeal vertebrae (fused into the coccyx).

There are irregular bones, these bones are your vertebrae
They are called the vertebrae, and are divided into six different classes depending upon which part of the spine they consist of. The topmost ones are the cervical vertebrae, and the bottom-most ones the coxxygial vertebrae. The largest category are the lumbar vertebrae, which makes up at least a third of the spine as a whole.
There are 33 bones in the spinal column. There are five regions in the column. In descending order there is the Cervical region which has 7 bone, Thoracic region which has 12 bones, Lumbar region which has 5 bones, Sacral region which has 5 bones (these bones are fused together), and the Coccygeal region that has 4 bones (these bones are fused together). The coccygeal region can actually have anywhere from 3-5 bones, but the average is 4.
The bones of the spine are called vertebrae. There are 33 total vertebrae in 5 regions: cervical (7), thoracic (12), lumbar (5), sacral (5), and coccygael (4). (The 5 bones of the sacral region are fused, as are the 4 bones of the coccygeal region.)
The cervical vertebrae are the spinal bones of the neck.
