This is the correct description of a certain part of a normal human skeleton
Glenoid activity is a depression to which the thigh bone articulates
the first vertebra is the axis which articulates with the occipital condyles
the 9th and 10th pairs of ribs are called the floating ribs
The parietal bone and the temporal bone of the skull are joined by a fibrous joint
he first vertebra is the axis which articulates with the occipital condyles
