Question

What would happen if your backbone made up of a single longbone instead of 33 small vertebrae?

Answer 1

The vertebral column (Backbone) has a total of 33 bones. if your backbone made of a single bone, the body would not have been able to display the motion.

Answer 2

There are 33 bones in the vertebral column (backbone). Cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, and coccyx are the different areas of the vertebrae.

Explanation:

• If we had just one long bone, we wouldn't be able to bend easily. Our backbone is made up of 33 small bones called vertebrae. Since it is made up of a chain of bones, it is flexible.
• Because it is difficult to bend a single bone, the vertebral column is made up of many bones. The vertebrae are tiny bones that make up the backbone. 7 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar, 5 sacral, and 4 coccygeal bones make up the spinal cord.
