Cows have 13 thoracic and 6 lumbar vertebrae. If you consider the backbone as composed of the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar vertebrae, there would be a total of 24 vertebrae.
There are 7 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar, a sacrum, and a coccyx.
Humans and Giraffes have 7 vertebrae in the neck
The vertebrae in the neck region are called cervical vertebrae. There are seven cervical vertebrae labeled C1 to C7, with C1 being closest to the skull and C7 being closest to the thoracic vertebrae.
In human anatomy, the vertebral column (backbone or spine) is a column usually consisting of 24 articulating vertebrae.
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.
The vertebral column is made of 7 cervical, 12 thoracic, and 5 lumbar vertebrae. Additionally the sacrum, or tailbone, consists of 5 vertebrae that are wholly or partially fused together.
The human adult vertebral column consists of 26 bones. There are 7 cervical vertebrae, 12 thoracic vertebrae, 5 lumbar vertebrae, and 2 that are collections of fused bones, the sacrum and the coccyx. An infant may have 32, 33, or 34 spinal bones present at birth.
