Answer:

There are between 31-33 bones that make up the spine called the vertebral column. The difference is in the coccygeal bones, which some times are counted as two, three, or four separate bones.

Answer:

There are 33 vertebrae in the human spinal column.

The human backbone is also called the spine, and it consists of a vertebral column that has many bones.

There are seven cervical, twelve thoracic, five lumbar, five fused sacral, and four fused coccygeal bones in an adult.

So that makes a total of 33 bones.

In adults these form 26 structurally separate units.

Answer:In an infant, there are from 32 to 34 bones, usually 33.By adulthood, 5 of these are fused to form the sacrum and usually 4 to form the coccyx.In a given individual, there are from 3 to 5 bones that form the coccyx.

Answer:There are thirty from C1 to S5.

  • eight cervical vertebrae
  • twelve thoracic vertebrae
  • five lumbar vertebrae
  • five sacral vertebrae

Answer:

33!!

17 cervical bertebra, 12 thoracic vertebra, 5 lumbar vertebra, 5 sacral vertebra(sacrum), and 4 caudal vertebra(coccyx).

It usually consists of 33 vertebrae and is divided into 5 different types: cervical (7), thoracic (12) lumbar (5), sacral (5 - fused) and coccygeal (4 - fused) vertebrae.
Your back bone consists of 7 cervical vertebrae (making the neck), then 12 thoracic vertebrae, and 5 lumbar vertebrae.
there are 206 bones in adult. i think you mean how many bones in your spine I'm not sure if that's your question. but there is 33 spinal bones
33
audults have 206 bones
The human body has 33 vertebrae.
There are 33 vertebrae in the human spine. (7 cervicals, 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar, 5 thatfuse into the sacrum and 4 that fuse into the coccyx.). The sacrum and coccyx are already fused into their respective bones at birth. The average human will eat 5 pounds of food in one day.
