What are the 4 shared features of the vertebrae?
vertebral body, articular facets, vertebral foramen, spinous and transverse processes
the number of true ribs, false ribs and floating ribs.
Why are false ribs considered false?
Where are floating ribs connected to?
True ribs - 1-7
False - 8-12
Floating -11-12, vertebrae
False because they do not directly connect to sternum.
Name one of each bone classification
long - femur, humerus, phalanges, clavicle
short - tarsals, carpals
flat - sternum, pelvis, skull, ribs
irregular - vertebrae, facial
sesamoid - patella
