The document summarizes the skeletal system of various animal species, focusing on the vertebral column. It describes the key components of the vertebral column including the vertebrae, discs, and processes. It notes that the number of vertebrae in each region (cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, coccygeal) can vary between species, but that there are always seven cervical vertebrae in mammals. Tables provide details on the number of vertebrae in specific regions for common farm animal species like cattle, horses, sheep, and pigs.
