A rat skeleton typically has 32 vertebrae, including 7 cervical (neck) vertebrae, 13 thoracic (chest) vertebrae, 6 lumbar (lower back) vertebrae, 4 sacral (pelvic) vertebrae, and 2-3 caudal (tail) vertebrae. The vertebral column provides structural support and flexibility to the rat's body, allowing for movement and protection of the spinal cord. The number of vertebrae may vary slightly among individual rats due to genetic variations or developmental factors.

Is the mustang horse an invertebrate or vertebrate?

The mustang horse is no different than any other horse if you're discussing vertebrae or invertebrae. All horses are vertebrae but how many bones are in the spine depends on the breed. An animal is a vertebrate if they have a backbone/spine. So usually, any creature that has a skeleton is a vertebrate. Invertebrates don't have a backbone and usually have what is known as an extoskeleton (outer skeleton), such as insects or crabs. Therefore, the mustang is a horse and horses have spines = vertebrate.


What bones make up the skeleton of the trunk?
