Lab 6: Pre-Lab Homework
An important role of the vertebral column is protection of the brain, spinal cord, and spinal nerves. True/False
False The vertebral column protects the spinal cord and serves as a passageway for spinal nerves. It does not, however, protect the brain. That is the role of cranial bones.
Label the structures of the bone using the hints provided. (Mandible)
