bony vertebral centrum
Ossified form of a vertebral centrum, a skeletal element that functionally replaces the notochord[VSAP,modified]. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.
What the bony vertebral centrum is
Ossified form of a vertebral centrum, a skeletal element that functionally replaces the notochord[VSAP,modified]. The atlas records it as a bone at the organ scale in the human body.

Questions
Where is the bony vertebral centrum?
It sits within the skeletal system. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.
What does the bony vertebral centrum connect to?
Part of: vertebra.
Is the bony vertebral centrum the same in other species?
Leumas holds the same relationship vocabulary for every species it carries, so where another dataset records this structure you can put the two side by side on /compare.
