A

cervical, thoracic,
lumbar, sacral, and
COCCyX.

23
Q

How many
vertebrae are in
cervical?

A

the neck-the
cervical spine. 12
bones in the chest
-the thoracic
spine. Five bones
in the lower back
-the lumbar
spine
24
Q

How many
vertebrae are in
thoracic?

A
12 bones in the
chest-the
thoracic spine.
Five bones in the
lower back-the
lumbar spine.
25
How manv vertebrae are in lumbar?
``` In the neck, there are seven cervical vertebrae, each designated with the letter "C" followed by its number. Below these are the 12 thoracic vertebrae. designated T1- T12. The lower back contains the five lumbar vertebrae. The single sacrum, which is also part of the pelvis, is formed by the fusion of five sacral vertebrae. Similarly, the COccyx, or tailbone, results from the fusion of four small coccygeal vertebrae ```
26
Scoliosis
``` scoliosis is an abnormal, lateral curvature, accompanied by twisting of the vertebral column. ```
27
Kyphosis
``` Kyphosis, also referred to as humpback or hunchback, is an excessive posterior curvature of the thoracic region. ```
28
Lordosis.
``` Lordosis, or swayback, is an excessive anterior curvature of the lumbar region and is most commonly associated with obesity or late pregnancy. ```
29
What does the thoracic cage protect?
``` The thoracic cage (rib cage) forms the thorax (chest) portion of the body. ```

30 | Costal cartilage
bars of hyaline | cartilage
31
Three types of ribs, and how many of each?
``` True (vertebrosternal) ribs, false (vertebrochondral) ribs and floating (vertebral, free) ribs. Ribs one to seven are considered true ribs and attach directly to the sternum via their own costal cartilage. ```
32
Main bones of the | pectoral girdle
``` Pectoral girdle, arms, forearms, hands, pelvis, legs, feet, and ankles ```
