what bones comprise the axial skeleton? - Answer skull, spinal column and rib cage appendicular skeleton - Answer everything but skull, spinal column and rib cage vertebral column names - Answer cervicalthoracic lumbar sacral cervical vertebrae 1-7 - Answer designed to offer the greatest amount of movement ofany bones, extending, !lexing and rotating through a wide range.
Thoracic vertebrae 1-12 - Answer attached to 12 pairs of ribs. The T-spine's function isto provide stability to your torso and internal organs. The anatomy of the thoracic vertebral bones doesn't enable a great degree of extension, they do have the ability to!lex and rotate quite substantially.
lumbar vertebrae 1-5 - Answer the power lifters of the family, designed to carry theweight of the upper body. Specialised in extension are the vertebrae of the lumbar region. They are capable of!exion but very little rotation. sacral vertebrae 1-5 Answer fused together as a bone plate, and while it is consideredpart of the column, many people don't consider them or the coccyx to be true vertebrae. The sacrum is the only bone that can nutate - tilting the pelvis forward in an anterior tiltis nutation and scooping or tucking the pelvis in posterior tilt is counter nutation.
Vertebral joint - Where two vertebrae join together Shoulder joint - Connects the humerus, or upper arm bone, to clavicle, or collar bone,and scapula, or shoulder blade

When contracted, its supporting eect stabilizes the trunk.
