Yes. The human spine is made up of three parts, the cervical spine(neck), the thoracic(middle), and the lumbar (lower back).

The lumbar consists of 5 vertebrae in the average adult human, but may also only have 4 or 6 vertebrae depending on the individual, although this is not as common.

There can be sacralization of the 5th lower lumbar resulting in only 4 lumber vertebrae, or a vertebrae of the sacrum where the individual has an extra 6th lumbar vertebrae. While all adults have 7 cervical vertebrae there is much more variation in the thoracic and lumbar vertebrae. The thoracic too may have a 13th vertebrae resulting in an extra rib. And as mentioned before the lumbar may have 4-6 vertebrae depending on the individual.

How many vertebra do human have?

Almost all humans are born with 33 separate vertebrae. By adulthood, most have only 24. This is due to the fusion of the vertebrae in certain parts of the spine during normal development. Different textbooks give different answers to this question. The confusion comes from the fact that the two lowest vertebrae -- the sacrum and the coccyx -- are each one bone, but they are made up from smaller bones fused together. There are 24 separate vertebrae; then there is the sacrum, which is formed from 5 fused vertebrae; and finally the coccyx, which is formed from between 3-5 fused vertebrae. Therefore, if the coccyx and sacrum are each classed as one vertebra, then there are 26 vertebrae. If the fused vertebrae are all counted separately, then there are 32-34 vertebrae.


Where is the invertebrate in the human body?

Assuming you mean vertebrae; The human spine is made up of 33 vertebrae (Sungular: vertebra.) There are four sections of vertebrae. The cervical vertebrae is is made up of 7 vertebrae and makes up the neck. The thoracic vertebrae makes up the upper back and contains 12 vertebrae. the lumbar vertebrae area makes up the lower back between the thoracic vetrtabrae and the sacral curve, made up of 5 vertebrae. Lastly, The tailbone area is below the lumbar section and called the sacral curve. 5 vertebrae make up the sacrum and 4 are fused to make the tailbone. All vertebrae but the sacral curve section are separated by invertebral discs.
