The document provides information about the bones that make up the axial skeleton, including the skull, vertebral column, rib cage, and sternum. It lists the main bones of the skull, such as the frontal bone and mandible, and describes features like the coronal suture and foramen ovale. It also details the bones that compose the vertebral column, including the 33 vertebrae and intervertebral discs. Finally, it distinguishes between true, false, and floating ribs and identifies parts of the sternum like the manubrium and xiphoid process.

24. What is another anatomical term for C1?What is another anatomical term for C2?

25. C1 lacks a body and a spinous process

26. Rib CageWhich ones are true ribs? Ribs 1-7Which ones are false ribs? Ribs 8-12Which ones are floating ribs? Ribs 11-12

28. The Thoracic CageThoracic CageSternumManubrium- Is the widest & most superior portion of the sternum(the “handle” of the bony sword)Body- Is the longest part of the sternum & forms its bulk (the “blade” of the bony sword). Xiphoid process-represents the very tip of the “sword blade.”
