Question

Cervical vertebrae are characterized by_______________

• A. Transverse process
• B. Neural spines
• C. Vertebro-artierial canals
• D. Odnontoid process

Answer 1

The correct option is A Transverse process

A. The transverse process is a kind of small bony projection on either side of the vertebrae.

B. Neural spines are the irregular bony projections on the spinal cord of animals.

C. Vertebral-arterial canals are the transversal canals in the vertebrae through which vertebral artery passes to the brain.
