The first cervical vertebra in humans is known as the
1. | atlas | 2. | axis |
3. | vertebra prominens | 4. | synsacrum |
The second cervical vertebra in humans is known as the
1. atlas.
2. axis.
3. vertebra prominens.
4. synsacrum.
The opening in a vertebra that is formed by a neural arch and back portion of a vertebral body and through which the spinal cord passes is called as:
1. intervertebral foramen.
2. vertebral canal.
3. vertebral foramen.
4. formen magnum.
The number of pairs of vertebrosternal ribs in humans are:
1. | 3 | 2. | 2 |
3. | 7 | 4. | 10 |
Situated between the two hip bones of the pelvis, sacrum is a triangular bone in the lower back formed from fusion of:
1. | 3 vertebrae | 2. | 5 vertebrae |
3. | 7 vertebrae | 4. | 12 vertebrae |
The cartilaginous section at the lower end of the sternum, which is not attached to any ribs, and gradually ossifies during adult life is:
1. manubrium.
2. body.
3. xiphoid process.
4. clavicular surface.

The cartilages that attach the ribs to the sternum are called as:
1. elastic cartilages
2. costal cartilages

4. fibrous cartilages
The atlas vertebra of humans:
1. articulates with temporal bone.
2. does not have a body.
3. has an odontoid process.
4. does not have a vertebral foramen.
All thoracic vertebrae:
1. lack a transverse process.
2. lack a body.
3. have facets for ribs.
4. have transverse foramen.
