The thoracic vertebrae have 6 and all the others have 4.
No it is not true. Many, many meteorites reach the earth's surface.
Humans typically have 33 vertebrae, but only 24 of these are movable. The first 7 are cervical vertebrae in the neck, followed by 12 thoracic vertebrae in the mid-back, and 5 lumbar vertebrae in the lower back. Below the lumbar region are the sacrum and coccyx, which are fused vertebrae.
The spine consists of a spinal cord, a bundle of nerves running up the middle of the back, linking motor and sensory nerves to the brain; several vertebrae, bones which encase the spinal cord to protect it and give the body a rigid frame; and cartilage, which connects the vertebrae and allows for limited flexibility.
There are 7 cervical (neck) vertebrae.Humans have seven cervical vertebrae.
The caudal vertebrae are the bones that make up the tail of an animal. The number of vertebrae that form the caudal vertebra can vary depending on the species. Typically, it can range from a few to several vertebrae.
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).
twelve, 1 vertebrae for each set of ribs.
There are four: one joint with the vertebra that is superior and one with the vertebra which is inferior plus superior and inferior processes (2) come off the pedicles. These articulate with the articular processes of the vertebrae above and below.
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!
12 Thoracic FYI 7 cervical, 5 Lumbar and 5 fused Sacral
there are 7 cervical vertebrae in a cat.
All cats are vertebrae's. there is not one that is not a vertebrae.
The part of the skeleton enclosing the thorax, consisting of the thoracic vertebrae, ribs, coastal cartilages, and sternum.
the first 7 vertebrae, the neck vertebrae, are considered to be cervical
It possess 7 vertebrae in neck .
There are typically 33 vertebrae in the human spine: 7 cervical vertebrae, 12 thoracic vertebrae, 5 lumbar vertebrae, 5 sacral vertebrae (fused into the sacrum), and 4 coccygeal vertebrae (fused into the coccyx).
Twelve thoracic vertebrae, same as you have.
