Chhattisgarh PMTChhattisgarh PMT 2004

Solution:

In mammals, the number of cervical vertebra is seven. The cervical vertebra are the vertebrae of neck region. Whether the neck is short as in a mouse or long as in camel or giraffe-their number is seven in all mammals excepts some eg, sloths and the sea cows. The first two cervical vertebrae are highly specialized, while the remaining five are typical in structure.
