There are (typically) seven cervical vertebrae. 

 The sternum is segmented. 



The coracoid is a small hook-like process of the scapula. 

 The pubes and ischia unite ventrally, forming a pelvic symphysis. (In the 

 Ratitae or Running Birds a symphysis is present.) 

 The acetabulum is, as a rule, completelj' ossified.
