Stapes is the smallest bone in the body.
The first cervical vertebra is atlas which has reduced centrum and rudimentary neural spines.
Sternum is a flat, long dagger-like bone. It has three regions-manubrium (attachment of clavicle and first pair of ribs), body (attachment of 2nd to 7th ribs) and xiphoid process (pointed cartilaginous).
Between the pubis and ischium a cavity is present, known as obturator foramen.
