two triangular flat surfaces called sacral ala

is commonly not fused or incompletely fused with SIV

Question 24

coccygeal corune

Answer 24

a vertical process arising from the first coccyx verebtral, towards the sacrum

Answer 25

manubrium sterni, body, and xiphoid process

Question 26

synchondrosis

Answer 26

immoveable joint and is between the xiphoid process and body of the sternum

Question 27

ribs and sternum articulation

Answer 27

there are notches on the side of the sternum for articulation with the 2nd to 7th costal cartialges

short, flat, and quadrangular and projects backwards

Question 37

L vertebrae accessory process

Answer 37

located at the base of the posterior surface of the transverse process

Question 38

Answer 38

found at the posterior margin of the superior articular process of the L vertebrae

Question 39

articular surfaces of the L vertebrae

Answer 39

superior ones face medially and inferior ones face laterally

Question 40

what connects the xiphoid process and the body of the sternum, as well as the manubrium and the body of the sternum?

Answer 40

fibrocartilages synchondrosis joints

Question 41

where do ribs articulate?

Answer 41

T vertebrae on the sides of their bodies (demi facets) and on the transverse processes (full facets)

Question 42

why does the sacral hiatus form?

Answer 42

because S5, and sometimes S4, fail to meet in the middle, forming this gap
