Connects left ribs to right ribs?
The only thing that connects the left and the right (1-10) is the sternum in the middle and the vertebrae in the back. 10-12 are only connected by the vertebrae between them.
Is spinal fluid extracted from the lumbar vertebrae for spinal tap?
Yes, that's right.
What is found only in the cervical vertebrae?
In the cervical and thoracic area of your spine. The cervical vertebrae starts right under your skull (following what's called the occipital foramen/foramen magnum). There are 7 cervical verterbrae and they end aproximatively under your neck (in the place where you feel a small circular prominence). Right under there are the thoracic vertebrae, in the number of 12. They end, let's say, at the upper part of your lower back.
What are differences between vertebrae and invertebrate animals?
A Vertabrae has a backbone an invertabrae does not. She Waz right :)
What is the vertebra of the neck?
The vertebrae in the neck are called cervicle vertebrae. There are 6 of them altogether. The first two (going downward from the skull) are called the atlas and the axis. The rest are just name by their order. Eg: C1 (Atlas), C2 (Axis), C3, C4.....
What is the right lumber region part of?
Lumbar vertebrae are part of the lower spine ; see related link .
How can humans stand on two feet?
up right invertabray it makes sure we keep our balance Skeleton, including vertebrae.
What is a sacral vertebra?
A sacral vertebra is one of the bones in the spine located in the lower back, just below the lumbar vertebrae. There are typically five sacral vertebrae that are fused together to form the sacrum, which connects the spine to the hip bones. The sacral vertebrae play a role in supporting the weight of the body and protecting the spinal cord.
What passes through The transverse foramina and cervical vertebrae?
The vertebral artery passes through the transverse foramina of the cervical vertebrae. These arteries supply blood to the brain and spinal cord.
What is the difference between the cervical vertebrae and thoracic vertebrae and lumbar vertebrae?
The Cervical vertebrae obtain: - Bifid (meaning double) spinous processes - Foramina transversarium for passage of nerves and vessels - The body is a more oval shape - Do not articuate with the ribs The Thoracic vertebrae obtain: - Spinous process (singular) - No foramina transversarium - The body is a small semi-circular shape - Articulate with the ribs -Have demifacets for articulation with the ribs The Lumbar vertebrae obtain: - Spinous process (singular) - No transverse processes - The body is a large circular shape - Does not articulate with the ribs - Demonstrates a "Scotty Dog" when positioned for a left/right anterior/posterior oblique radiograph.
Where is the third vertebrae?
The tag 'C' means the 'cervical' section of the spine, which is the first section at the top of the spine ... the first group of vertebrae right under the skull. There are seven cervical vertebrae, (unless you've had C4 thru C7 fused, like me), and then the thoracic section starts. 'C3' means the third vertebra down from the skull. That pointy bone sticking out at the bottom of your neck/top of your back is 'T1'. All the vertebrae above that are in the cervical section.
How many cervical thoracic and lumbar vertebrae are there?
Absolutely! They have features unique to the region they are found in, relating to structure and therefore function. Typical cervical vertebrae (C3-C6) usually have bifid spinous processes which point slightly inferiorly. The spinous processes on lumbar vertebrae are oblong in shape and point directly posteriorly. The articular facets of cervical vertebrae face superior-inferiorly, whereas lumbar articular facets face medial-laterally. Cervical vertebrae have transverse foramen on right and left(containing the vertebral arteries), lumbar have none. They have mamillary processes on their superior articular processes. The bodies of lumbar vertebra are larger and thicker than cervical vertebrae, though they are oval/kidney shaped shaped in both regions. The transverse processes of lumbar vertebrae are much longer, for muscle attachment. Cervical vertebrae have anterior and posterior tubercles extending from their transverse processes. The pedicles of lumbar vertebrae are slightly longer and more defined than those of cervical vertebrae. I think that covers everything, let me know if you think of anything else!
