There are 33 vertebrae in the spinal cord of a human being. They are broadly categorized into 5 areas. They are called the cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacrum & coccyx vertebra. The upper 3 areas have a total of 24 vertebrae, which includes 7 cervical vertebrae, 12 thoracic vertebrae & 5 lumbar vertebrae. Sometimes the lumbar region, may have an additional vertebra, it does happen - but it is rare. 5 vertebrae are fused together to form the sacrum & 3 vertebrae form the end of the spinal column which is the coccyx.
