Seven. They compose the seven cervical vertebrae. There is another bone in the neck, which is really part of the function of the tongue called the hyoid. Though not considered a neck bone in function it is located in the neck.

But, it's not just humans. In fact, all mammals have the same number of bones in their neck, seven, even giraffes.


The most common answer is that there are seven vertebra in the neck section of the human spine.

There's 28 bones in the human neck (8 cranial, 14 facial, and 6 ear bones).

There is some confusion of how many vertebrate there are in the human vertebral column. Neck vertebrate:7 Thoracic vertebrate: 12 Lumbar vertebrate: 5 Sacrum vertebrate: 5 Coccyx vertebrate: 4 The 5 vertebrate of the Sacrum are fused, and may be counted as one. The 4 verterbrate of the Coccyx are also fused, and may be counted as one. This brings the total to 26 or 33.
