**Instruction:**6. Identify each of the following vertebrae in Figure 8.37 as being cervical, thoracic, lumbar, cervical-axis, or cervical-atlas. Additionally, explain how you arrived at this conclusion.a b c **Figure Description:**- **Figure 8.37**: Unknown vertebrae: - **(A) Unknown vertebra 1**: - The illustration shows a vertebra with broad wings and a large vertebral foramen, characteristic of a cervical vertebra, specifically the atlas. It has no vertebral body and the lateral masses are prominent, suggesting it supports the skull. - **(B) Unknown vertebra 2**: - This vertebra features a dense body and round vertebral foramen, with large transverse processes. This is typical of a lumbar vertebra, which is designed to bear more weight. - **(C) Unknown vertebra 3**: - The vertebra has a small body, long spinous process, and facets for rib attachment, indicating a thoracic vertebra. These features support connections with the ribs.Students are encouraged to compare these characteristics with a standard anatomy reference to accurately classify each type.
