Behind this, they are again separate in the tail (v q, the caudal vertebrae). To the transverse processes of the vertebrsB are attached the ribs, c, by which the upper part of the cavity of the trunk is protected; the ribs are prolonged by cartilages that meet under the body in the breast-bone, which in most of the mammalia is flat. Upon the ribs lies on each side the blade- bone, or scapula, o; and this forms part of the shoulder-joint, and gives attachment to some of the muscles by which the fore- leg is moved. Each anterior limb consists, first, of the humerus, or arm-bone, h, which lies between the shoulder and the elbow; then of two bones giving support to the fore-arm, which are commonly united, however, in herbivorous quadrupeds, into a single one, cu ; next, of the bones of the wrist, ca, which are also.
