Vertebrae are divided into sections: the atlas and axis account for the first cervical vertebrae, of which there are 7 in total; there are 12 thoracic vertebrae, 7 lumbar vertebrae, 1 sacrum (5 separate vertebrae in a baby), and 1 coccyx (4 separate vertebrae in a baby).
7
The spine is divided in to different regions and then each vertebrae within that segment is numbered. The vertebrae in the neck are called cervical vertebrae and there are 7 of them. Therefore, a fracture of C6 is a fracture in the 6th cervical vertebrae (at the base of the neck).
T-7 is the shorthand form for writing Thoracic vertebrae #7. So a child with T-7 spina bifida just means that their spina bifida lesion is located at thoracic vertebrae #7.
There are three parts of the spine, the cervical, thoracic and lumbar. Each vertebrae is listed by its number. For example the first 7 vertebrae (from the top) are listed as C1-C7 meaning C for cervical. The thoracic vertebrae starts after C7, the 8th vertebrae is T1-T12, so there is 12 individual vertebraes in the thoracic spine. After the thoracic, is the lumbar which have 5 individual vertebrae, L1-L5.

There are a pair of 12 of thoracic vertebrae in the human body. Some variations exist, as in all of nature, but that is most commonly agreed upon number. The vertebrae of the spine are divided into sections (cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral and the coccyx). The thoracic 3 and 4 vertebrae control much of the upper back kyphotic curve. There are special areas called dermatomes in our bodies where our spinal nerves can affect certain areas associated with them; skin, muscles, joints, and organs. There are 12 thoracic vertebra in human skleletalTwelve.The adult body has 7 cervical vertebra, 12 thoracic vertebrae, and 5 lumbar vertebrae. It can be remembered as: breakfast at 7am, lunch at 12noon, and dinner at 5pm.There are 12 thoracic vertebrae.12, they are labeled T1 to T12
It usually consists of 33 vertebrae and is divided into 5 different types: cervical (7), thoracic (12) lumbar (5), sacral (5 - fused) and coccygeal (4 - fused) vertebrae. Your back bone consists of 7 cervical vertebrae (making the neck), then 12 thoracic vertebrae, and 5 lumbar vertebrae.
No. There are 12 in the thoracic segment.7 Cervical (breakfast is at 7) 12 Thoracic (lunch is at 12) 5 Lumbar (Dinner is at 5)
12 Thoracic FYI 7 cervical, 5 Lumbar and 5 fused Sacral
The five types of vertebra are the:cervical vertebrae (neck)thoracic vertebrae (chest)lumbar vertebrae (back)sacral (pelvis)coccyx (tailbone)
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.
