Bones of the upper body, computer artwork. Running down centre is the spine. The thoracic (upper) spine is green and the lumbar (lower) spine is orange. It is made up of vertebrae, block-like bones that protect the spinal cord and support the upper body. The ribcage is made up of twelve pairs of curved bones that attach to the thoracic (upper) spine at the back and the sternum (breastbone) at the front. The clavicle (collar bone) and scapular (shoulder blade) articulate with the humerus (upper arm bone) to form the shoulder joint. At bottom are the large ear-shaped hip bones.
