The long chain of vertebrae that defines a snake's body takes shape in about 23 days. The regular emergence of segments from the PSM is driven by a cell signaling system known as a “clock and ...

The spine, or backbone, is made up of small bones (vertebrae) stacked -- along with discs -- one on top of another. A healthy spine when viewed from the side has gentle curves to it. The curves ...
