How can snakes bend so easily?
Not many people would think that snakes have any bones but they do. They have a skull, a spine, and ribs. Their spine is made up of about 200-400 vertebrae with as many ribs attached. Humans only have 24-33. They have a lot of strong muscles as well which is why they are so flexible. All those bones and the strong muscles protect the internal organs. The throat of the snake takes up the front one-third of the body. It leads to a really long stomach, which, like the throat, will stretch to the size of whatever the snake is eating. Hope this helped!:D

What is the function of muscles ribs and belly plate for a snake?
Snakes have a backbone with a great many vertebrae, some having about 300 whereas a man has only 33 or 34. To each vertebra is attached a pair of ribs. On the belly, from neck to tail, are as many broad overlapping plates as there are vertebrae, each attached to the ends of a pair of ribs and controlled by a system of muscles. Some thick-bodied snakes, such as rattlesnakes and the cottonmouth moccasin, can crawl slowly in a straight line along the ground, or even up a tree, by inching a few belly plates forward, then a few more, synchronized so that there appears to be wave after wave traveling from neck to tail. But for speedy travel they use the sinuous movement.
