Thoratic
The lumbar region of the vertebral column contains 5 vertebrae (the bones of the spine).
The sacrum, which consists of 5 fused bones, and the coccyx are below the lumbar vertebrae in the spine.
The lumbar section of a typical human spine contains five vertebrae, known as L1 to L5.
The vertebrae consist of the vertebral body, spinous process, transverse process, and articular processes. There are 33 vertebrae in total, including 7 cervical vertebrae, 12 thoracic vertebrae, 5 lumbar vertebrae, 5 sacral vertebrae (fused into the sacrum), and 4 coccygeal vertebrae (fused into the coccyx).
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 vertebrae, 12 thoracic vertebrae, 5 lumbar vertebrae, the 5 sacral vertebrae fused to form the sacrum, and the 4 coccygeal vertebrae fused to form the coccyx. Depending on the way you count the number of bones, it comes to as few as 26 bones (just the fused sacrum and fused coccyx are counted) or 33 bones (if you count each bone that is fused).
Cervical Thoracic Lumbar Sacral Coccyx
the thoracic spine is above the lumbar spine which means ALL thoracic vertebrae are superior to the lumbar vertebrae.
The vertebrae in the lower back are called the Lumbar vertebrae. They are L1, L2, L3, L4 and L5.
The lumbar vertebrae are the backbones of the lower back.
Five lumbar vertebrae.
There are seven cervical (neck) vertebrae, 12 thoracic (the majority of the back) vertebrae, and five lumbar (lower back) vertebrae.
