axis
allows head to move around
The body of each vertebra
is a mass of spongy bone surrounded by compact bone and is the weight-bearing portion.
What is the pectoral girdle
supports the arm. It consists of the clavicle and scapula.
The upper extremity is divided into four regions:
: brachium, antebrachium(foreaarm,) carpus and manus.
