True/ False: The cervical vertebrae in cats have longer bodies which allows for increased flexion of the neck.
False: The bodies of cervical vertebrae of cats are shorter; however the bodies or the thoracic vertebrae are longer, allowing for greater flexion in the thoracic region.

D) Transverse fovea, cranial costal fovea
D) Transverse fovea, cranial costal fovea
Any muscles that pull the ribs backward are known as muscles of _____, whereas; any muscles that pull the ribs forward are known as muscles of _____.
A) inspiration, expiration
B) expiration, inspiration
C) hypaxial, epaxial
D) epaxial, hypaxial
B) expiration, inspiration
True/ False: The lumbar vertebrae have more developed transverse processes that extend cranio-laterally and have longer bodies in comparison to the thoracic vertebrae.

True/ False: The inner portion of the intervertebral disc is made up of fibrous tissue and is known as the nucleus pulposus.
False: The inner layer (nucleus pulposus is gelatinous in nature and contains loose fibers suspended in a mucoprotein gel.). The outermost part is known as the annulus fibrosus.
Which of the following ligaments attaches the dens of the axis to the fovea dentis (floor of the atlas)?
A) Transverse ligament of the Atlas
B) Dorso Atlanto-Axial ligament
C) Lateral Atlanto-occipital ligament
D) Alar ligament
A) Transverse ligament of the Atlas
True/ Fase: The head of the rib articulates with the transverse fovea; whereas, the tubercle of the rib articulates with the costal fovea.
False: The head of the rib articulates with the costal fovea and the tubercle of the rib articulates with the transverse fovea.

True/False: the lligament that runs between the vertebral arches is known as the interspinous ligament.
False: Known as the interarcuate or yellow ligament. The interspinous ligament runs between the spinous processes of the vertebrae.
