"Vertebra" refers to the individual bones that make up the vertebral column, or spine, in vertebrate animals. Each vertebra has a central hole through which the spinal cord passes, and they are stacked on top of one another to form the spine, providing structural support and protecting the spinal cord. The term is often used in the context of anatomy and Biology to describe the segments of the backbone.

Is the sternum posteior to the vertebrea?
No it is in front of them.
What are clavicle vertebrae and patella are commonly known as what?
There is no such thing as a clavicle vertebrae -- do you mean cervical vertebrea? Here are the common names of all three -- clavicle = collar bone. patella = knee cap. cervical vertebrae = neck.
Where is spine t4 and t7 of spine?
The thoracic or "T" vertebrea count from the top down. T4 and T5 are located in the approximate middle of the thoracic region of the spine (or chest area) so t4-t5 or about between your shoulder blades. there are 12 thoracic vertebrea counting from 1 to 12, top to bottom.
What is the name of the vertebra in a horse's spine located between the sacral and the coccygeal ones?
The order of the vertebae in horses are as follows... Cervical, Thoracic, Lumbar, Sacral, and then the caudal (sometimes called cooygeal) Here is the numbers of vertebrea in each section... C7, T18, L6, S5, C15-21 The order of the vertebae in horses are as follows... Cervical, Thoracic, Lumbar, Sacral, and then the caudal (sometimes called cooygeal) Here is the numbers of vertebrea in each section... C7, T18, L6, S5, C15-21
What kind of skeleton does a porpoise have?
A porpoise does indeed have an internal skeleton inside of them. The porpoise skeleton is anywhere from 4.6 to 6.2 feet in length and consist of rib bones, a backbone and upper vertebrea.
Where are some flexible joints in your body?

What is the collections of bones that run down your back?
Spine. VERTEBREA
What are the three characteristics that vertebrates have in common?
There are actually five characteristics that all vertebrates have in common; a vertebral column composed of multiple vertebrea (spine), a cranium (the bone that envelopes the brain), a closed circulatory system, nural crest, and a pronounced cephalization.
What is a cervical bone?
The cervical spine is made up of seven vertebrae located in the neck region of the spine, known as C1 to C7. These bones provide support and stability to the neck and protect the spinal cord as it passes through the vertebrae. Injuries or conditions affecting the cervical spine can lead to pain, numbness, and other neurological symptoms.
How do you get a cervicle vertebrea abscese?
A cervical vertebra abscess typically occurs due to infection, often caused by bacteria or, less commonly, fungi. This can result from conditions such as osteomyelitis, tuberculosis, or post-surgical complications. Risk factors include weakened immune systems, diabetes, or prior spinal injuries. Prompt medical evaluation is crucial for diagnosis and treatment to prevent complications.
How many cervical vertebrate does a horse have?
They have seven. A horse has 7 cervical vertebrae (neck) as do nearly all mammals, 18 thoracic vertebrae (along the longest part of the horse's back), 6 lumbar vertebrae (the general area above the horse's hips), and 5 sacral vertebrae (towards the tail (dock) area).
What is a fracture of the neck vertebrea C4 too C6?
A fracture of the neck vertebrae C4 to C6 refers to a break in one or more of the cervical vertebrae located in the neck region, specifically between the fourth and sixth cervical vertebrae. Such fractures can result from trauma, such as car accidents or falls, and may lead to various degrees of spinal cord injury, potentially affecting mobility and sensation. Symptoms can include neck pain, weakness, numbness, or paralysis, depending on the severity of the injury. Prompt medical evaluation and treatment are crucial to manage the condition and prevent further complications.
