Trying to figure out the skeleton for centaurs. They essentially have a fore-pelvis. Also, unlike humans, their nerve column runs below their spinal column.

Why is that? If the nerve column is not inside the vertebrae, how is it protected? It would be very, very vulnerable....lots of paraplegic centaurs...

It's underneath the vertebrae the same way a human nervous cord is on top of our vertebrae! Our nerve cord runs through the vertebral foramen of our spine, which are above the centrum (the round bit of a vertebra). It's encased and protected, but in a flexible way. <a href="http://annahamilton.me/wp-content/uploads/anatomy-of-vertebrae-the-thoracic-spine-google-search-thoracinc.png" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://annahamilton.me/wp-content/uploads/anatomy-of-vertebrae-the-thoracic-spine-google-search-thoracinc.png</a> <a href="https://www.depuysynthes.com/binary/org/DPY_SYN/DPY_SYN_20/Images/Image_10_400pix_DPUSA203.gif" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.depuysynthes.com/binary/org/DPY_SYN/DPY_SYN_20/Images/Image_10_400pix_DPUSA203.gif</a> You could argue centaurs have a better set up than us because their nervous cord is more protected on the underside...
