Snakes have a high number of vertebrae, up to 500 or more, because they have evolved to have a highly flexible and elongated body shape that allows them to move efficiently and adapt to various environments. This increased number of vertebrae gives them the ability to bend and twist in a variety of ways, aiding in their hunting and survival strategies.
A zygantrum is a cavity on the vertebrae of snakes and some lizards which helps fit a pivot joint called a zygosphene inside each vertebra.
The lower lumbar vertebrae are the most stress bearing vertebrae.
A typical horse has around 54 to 60 vertebrae in its spine. This includes 7 cervical vertebrae (neck), 18 thoracic vertebrae (chest), 6 lumbar vertebrae (lower back), 5 sacral vertebrae (pelvis), and 16-18 coccygeal vertebrae (tail). The exact number can vary slightly among individual horses.
Assuming you mean vertebrae; The human spine is made up of 33 vertebrae (Sungular: vertebra.) There are four sections of vertebrae. The cervical vertebrae is is made up of 7 vertebrae and makes up the neck. The thoracic vertebrae makes up the upper back and contains 12 vertebrae. the lumbar vertebrae area makes up the lower back between the thoracic vetrtabrae and the sacral curve, made up of 5 vertebrae. Lastly, The tailbone area is below the lumbar section and called the sacral curve. 5 vertebrae make up the sacrum and 4 are fused to make the tailbone. All vertebrae but the sacral curve section are separated by invertebral discs.
One vertebraTwo or more vertebrae(Vertebrae is the more correct but vertebras is still acceptable)
Snakes can have between 130-500 vertebrae, with ribsattached to each one.
None
Human beings have a vertebral column of which the snakes do not have.
Snakes have at least 200 vertebrae and in so species more that 400.
The animal with the most vertebrae is the snake. Some species of snakes can have over 300 vertebrae in their body, allowing them to be extremely flexible and agile.
Snakes and lizards fall into those conditions.
A snake's spine typically runs the length of its body, consisting of numerous vertebrae that provide flexibility for movement and support for the organs. The number of vertebrae can vary depending on the species, with some snakes having over 300 vertebrae in their spine.
Yes, a rattlesnake is a vertebrae. A vertebrae is an animal with a backbone. The rattlesnake definitely has a backbone. If an animal does not have a backbone it is an invertebrate.
Snakes have between 100-400 vertebrae with as many ribs attached
Yes, snakes are vertebrates, so they have vertabrae. (Vertebrae is more than one vertebra.)
Snakes are known for having the most vertebrae among animals. Some snake species can have over 300 vertebrae, allowing for their flexible and agile movements.
Longest as in sheer length, or longest as in number of vertebrae? Many snakes have over 200 individual vertebrae. That would probably go to Blue Whales. They are between 80 and 100 feet long but have far fewer vertebrae.
