People would not be able to bend or twist at the waist. Plus, each vertebrae acts as its own little stretching tool, and they all work together so that you can be more flexible. With just one bone, you would always be completely straight up.
They do have segmented vertebrae but it is not made of bone. So, yes, they do have avertebralcolumn.
yes. bony fish (class osteichthyes) have a vertebral column and a bony skeleton. cartilaginous fish (class chondrichthyes) have a vertebral column as well but their skeleton is made up of cartilage.
Actually its still spine. The spine in anatomy is the combination of the vertebral column (the bone part) and the spinal chord (the nervous tissue part). that may be all right and so but there is still another wscientific word for spine and and that is dorsal and lumber vertebrate
Sacrum, and Coccyx
The main difference between the vertebral columns of humans and pigs is the number of vertebrae. Humans typically have 33 vertebrae, while pigs have 24-25. Additionally, the shape and size of the vertebrae may vary slightly, but the overall structure and function are similar in both species.
The vertebral column,also called spinal column, spine, or backbone, in vertebrate animals is the flexible column extending from neck to tail, made of a series of bones, the vertebrae. Also ligaments which hold bones to bones are present. Vertebral disks made of fibrocartilage are found between the vertebral bones.
The bone that runs up the middle of the human back is called the spine or vertebral column. It is made up of individual vertebrae stacked on top of each other, providing support and protection to the spinal cord.
No. Reptiles are vertebrates, and therefore have a spinal column made of bone.
The spinal cord is not a bone; it is a long, thin, tubular bundle of nervous tissue and support cells that extends from the base of the brain to the lower back. It is surrounded and protected by the vertebral column, which is made up of individual bones called vertebrae.
Mostly the fact that it's made up of many separate bones.
Look to see if the animal has a backbone. All vertebrates have a vertebral column made of vertebrae - a backbone!
The Axial Skeleton is composed of five parts 1) the human skull 2) the ossicles of the middle ear 3) the hyoid bone of the throat 4) the rib cage 5) the vertebral column.
