Summary Introduction Introduction: The vertebral column (backbone) is a portion of the axial skeleton and it protects the spinal cord. A typical vertebra consists of a body, pedicle, vertebral foramen, transverse process, lamina, vertebral arch, spinous process, articular processes (superior and inferior) with facets. Explanation The vertebral arch is formed when the lamina and pedicles fuse together. The pedicles are thick bilateral processes. The pedicles project posteriorly on both the sides of the vertebral body. The laminae are flattened and the bilateral plates that join the transverse processes with the spinous process...

Students have asked these similar questions

One of the ways for a cell to generate ATP is through the oxidative phosphorylation. In oxidative phosphorylation 3 ATP are produced from every one NADH molecule. In respiration, every glucose molecule produces 10 NADH molecules. If a cell is growing on 5 glucose molecules, how much ATP can be produced using oxidative phosphorylation/aerobic respiration?
