The vertebrae are segmented in descending order.Cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral , are the major segments.Neck, thorax ,upper back ,lower back.
The vertebral column does 3 major things. 1. Supports the upper body. 2. Allows for flexibility of the upper body. 3. Houses the spinal cord. It protects and supports the spinal cord. Supports the body and holds it erect. Gives the neck movement.
It is inserted into the medial border of the scapula, between the superior angle and the triangular smooth surface at the apex of the spine. THE MUSCLES CONNECTING THE UPPER LIMB WITH THE VERTEBRAL COLUMN.

Posterioly there are the Rhomboideus major and minor and levator scapula. While anteriorly is the upper three digitations of serratus anterior.

Curvature of the vertebral column resulting from the column turning on its axis. The upper two vertebrae in the cervical spine, the atlas and the axis, differ from the other vertebrae because they are designed specifically for rotation. These two vertebrae are the reason your neck can move in so many directions. Mid Spine = Thoracic Lumbar Spine = Below the Thoracic vertebraes - your lumbar spine consists of 5 discs/vertebrae.

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 lower part is called 'lumbar' as the upper part is called 'thoracic'.
The thymus gland is in the upper thorax anterior to the heart.
