Dinosaurs The vertebral column in dinosaurs consists of the cervical (neck), dorsal (back), sacral (hips), and caudal (tail) vertebrae.

This feeding strategy is supported by many of their defining characteristics, such as a light, tiny skull on the end of a long neck (with ten or more elongated cervical vertebrae) and a counterbalancing long tail (with one to three extra sacral vertebrae).

And so button by button, vertebrae by vertebrae, I built my way down.

All mammals have seven cervical vertebrae.

The articulating vertebrae are grouped into their regions there are seven cervical vertebrae of the neck (C1 to C7) twelve thoracic vertebrae of the thorax (T1 to T12) and five lumbar vertebrae of the lower back above the pelvis (L1 to L5).

She said, Yes, if the sacral nerve is being oxygenated, you conceivably could.

In advanced (Caenophidian) snakes, the broad belly scales and rows of dorsal scales correspond to the vertebrae, allowing scientists to count the vertebrae without dissection.

The cervical spinal nerves emerge from above the cervical vertebrae.

Gintaras Beresnevičius also points out that a white horse had a sacral meaning to Balts.

In March 2005, Pavarotti underwent neck surgery to repair two vertebrae.

As such, vertebrates take their name from the vertebrae that compose the vertebral column.

The headquarters for orgasm, along the spinal nerve, is something called the sacral nerve root, which is back here.

I actually understood the mechanics of vertebrae enough to kind of start to imitate them.

Similarly, the sacrum is usually counted as a single bone, rather than five fused vertebrae.

It also had just two vertebrae joining the pelvis to the spine, a distinctly primitive condition.

In tubercular osteomyelitis, the long bones and vertebrae are the ones that tend to be affected.

It occurs in higher concentrations in the liver and kidneys and in lower concentrations in the vertebrae.

They have complete braincases and rudimentary vertebrae, and therefore may be regarded as vertebrates and true fish.

Most are vertebrates, in which the notochord is replaced by the spinal column, which consists of a series of bony or cartilaginous cylindrical vertebrae, generally with neural arches that protect the spinal cord and with projections that link the vertebrae.

Each somite has 3 divisions, sclerotome (which forms vertebrae), dermatome (which forms skin), and myotome (which forms muscle).

The most common symptom is bone pain, often in the vertebrae (bones of the spine), pelvis, or ribs.

Subdivisions Craniata Craniates, one of the three subdivisions of chordates, have distinct skulls including hagfish, which have no vertebrae.

Their neck vertebrae are jointed, like those of land mammals, instead of being fused together as in most whales.

The Franciscan Church, dating to the 13th century, has been a place of knighting ceremonies and is the oldest preserved sacral building in the city.

In 1886 there was still no class for sacral music, but there were classes for solo and chorus singing, piano, violin, cello, organ and composition.

This consisted of the top of the skull, as well as vertebrae, ribs, part of the shoulder girdle and armor.

After the rise of the hero cult, gods and heroes constitute the sacral sphere and are invoked together in oaths and prayers which are addressed to them.

And actually, by the end of the day, I had a reasonable skull, a moderately good vertebrae and half of a pelvis.

This is because a malformed odontoid process may lead to instability between the atlas and axis (the C1 and C2 cervical vertebrae).

Here, the virus affects the upper part of the cervical spinal cord (cervical vertebrae C3 through C5), and paralysis of the diaphragm occurs.

When cougars do attack, they usually employ their characteristic neck bite, attempting to position their teeth between the vertebrae and into the spinal cord.

It is formed from individual bones called vertebrae (singular vertebra), which houses the spinal canal, a cavity that encloses and protects the spinal cord.

This classification is based on such morphological features as the number of vertebrae, the structure of the pectoral girdle, and the morphology of tadpoles.

As in other dromaeosaurs, Velociraptor tails had long bony projections (prezygapophyses) on the upper surfaces of the vertebrae, as well as ossified tendons underneath.

It differs from all other plesiosaurs by having six teeth per premaxilla (the bones at the tip of the snout) and 71 neck (cervical) vertebrae.

10,000 years ago at the dawn of agriculture, human population, plus livestock and pets, was approximately a tenth of one per cent of the terrestrial vertebrae landmass.

The jaw's surface (in comparison to the shark's vertebrae and gill arches) needs extra support due to its heavy exposure to physical stress and its need for strength.

Parasympathetic branches extend from the sacral plexus into the arteries supplying the erectile tissue upon stimulation, these nerve branches release acetylcholine, which, in turn causes release of nitric oxide from endothelial cells in the trabecular arteries.

From this point on, Pontifex Maximus was one of the many titles of the Emperor, slowly losing its specific and historical powers and becoming simply a referent for the sacral aspect of imperial duties and powers.

However, at least one specimen has preserved a series of intact tail vertebrae curved sideways into an S shape, suggesting that there was considerably more horizontal flexibility than once thought.

We began to find limb bones we found finger bones, the bones of the pelvis, vertebrae, ribs, the collar bones, things that had never, ever been seen before in Homo erectus.

Tail The tail of Staurikosaurus was relatively long (with more than 40 vertebrae) compared to the rest of its body and was held straight and off the ground as it ran.

The skull bite is employed with mammals in particular with reptiles such as the caiman, the jaguar may leap onto the back of the prey and sever the cervical vertebrae, immobilizing the target.

As the name suggests, it is best known for the high neural spines on many of its vertebrae, which most likely supported a ridge of muscle over the animal's neck, back and hips.

Voluntary and involuntary control The cerebral cortex can initiate erection in the absence of direct mechanical stimulation (in response to visual, auditory, olfactory, imagined, or tactile stimuli) acting through erectile centers in the lumbar and sacral regions of the spinal cord.
