T/F :
A student says the ribs are part of the appendicular skeleton because they are attached to the shoulder area. Is the student correct?

True ribs
I am a vertebra with transverse foramina, a feature characteristic of my region
Cervical vertebra
Which cervical vertebra is distinguished by the presence of the dens?
Axis C2
A fracture occurs to the bone that forms part of the medial wall of the orbit and contains the cribriform plate. Identify the bone.
Ethmoid bone
This vertebra is called the axis and contains the dens, which allows the head to rotate
C2
Ribs 8–12 are considered false ribs, but ribs 11 and 12 have an additional classification because they do not attach anteriorly to the sternum at
