The spine (also called backbone or vertebral column) starts at the top of your neck, just under the scull, and goes all the way down to your tail-bone. There are 5 regions of the spine: cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, and coccygeal. However the 3 most commonly discussed regions are the cervical, thoracic, lumbar regions. The cervical region is in the neck. The thoracic region is in the upper to mid back. The lumbar region is in the low back. The sacral region is in the back of your pelvis, between your buttocks. Finally, the coccygeal region is your "tail-bone."

The sacrum, or sacral region, of the spine is connected to the Ilium of the pelvis.
The coccyx is the tailbone, so the coccygeal region is the very lower end of the spine.

The thoracic spine, where movement of the spinal column is most limited.
cervical region: neck Thoracic region: back Lumbar region: lower back sacral region: pelvic girdle Coccyxgeal region: tailbone
from the base of your neck to mid back is known as the thoracic spine and an excessive curvature of this region is called a kyphosis. Kyphosis looks like a "hump" when viewed from the side. Below the thoracic region is the lumbar region which is commonly known as the low back. Excessive inwards curvature of this region is called a hyperlordosis.
That depends on whether you mean back or spine. The middle spine is the thoracic region. Above it is the cervical, below the lumbar. Thoracic might also speak of the general middle region of the back.
Either Scoliosis or Kyphosis. Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine, primarily in the thoracic region. Kyphosis is the forward bending of the thoracic region, the "round back" deformity.
The cervical region of the spine contains 7 vertebrae. The best motion in this are is rotation. C1 (the atlas) and C2 (the axis) are specialized bones of rotation.
