Answers (1)
Vertebral Column (Backbone) -
- Our vertebral column is formed by 26 serially arranged units called vertebrae and is dorsally placed.
- It is actually made up of 33 vertebrae.
- However, it consists of 26 bones because five sacral vertebrae are fused to form one sacrum and four coccygeal vertebrae are fused to form one coccyx.
- It extends from the base of the skull and constitutes the main framework of the trunk.
- Each vertebra has a central hollow portion (neural canal) through which the spinal cord passes.
- The vertebral column is differentiated into:
- cervical (7)
- thoracic (12)
- lumbar (5)
- sacral (1; 5 fused)
- coccygeal (1; 4 fused)
Lumbar Vertebrae:
- These are 5 in number present in the abdomen.
- They are the largest and strongest in the vertebral column.
- Their processes are short and thick.
- The spinous processes are thick and broad and project posteriorly.
Hence, the correct option is b. abdominal region
