PPT-Axial Skeleton Vertebral Column

composed of 26 bones of the 80 total that make up the Axial Skeleton Vertebral Column Aka Spine or backbone Formed from 26 irregular bones Connected in a way that the flexible curved structure is formed. Vertebral Column (Spine). Extends from the skull, which it supports, to the pelvis, where it transmits the weight of the body to the lower limbs. The spine is formed from 26 irregular bones connected and reinforced by ligaments in such a way that a flexible curved structure results. POSTCRANIAL SKELETON - . I. AXIAL SKELETON. S. S. Sumida.  . INTRODUCTION.  . The axial skeleton is generally considered one of the hallmark features of vertebrates; it is after all, the namesake of the group. However, the idea that the group was defined by having vertebrae or a vertebral column turns out to be an oversimplification.. Encloses spinal cord, (dorsal aorta). Site of muscle attachment.

The notochord and vertebral column define the long axis of the body, offer sites for muscle attachment, prevent telescoping, and support body weight.. The notochord is a long, continuous rod of fibrous connective tissue wrapping a fluid filled core.. Part A: The Axial Skeleton. Section 1 – Axial Skeleton Overview (pp. 198-200).
