PPT-The Vertebral Column Is composed of 33 vertebrae

5 sacral fused to form the sacrum 7 cervical 12 thoracic 5 lumbar 4 coccygeal the lower 3 are commonly fused A typical vertebra consists of 1a rounded body anteriorly 2a vertebral arch posteriorly . Patrick Elder. Basics. How do we divide the vertebrae of the vertebral column, and how many are there?. 7 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar, 5 sacral and the coccyx.. From where do the spinal nerves originate, and how are they named?. 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. The Axial Skeleton. The Vertebral Column . Formed from 26 bones in the adult. Transmits weight of trunk to the lower limbs. Surrounds and protects the spinal cord. The Vertebral Column . Serves as attachment sites for muscles of the neck and back. 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.. Chapter 8. Introduction. 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.. 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. Together with ribs and sternum provide about two-fifths (40%) of the height of the body. Composed of 33 (26) different bones. Encloses and protects the spinal cord. Supports the head. Lower vertebrae supports the weight of the entire upper body. Vertebral Column. 26 bones. : . Vertebrae (24). Sacrum. Coccyx (. tailbone).
