Cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, coccyx
Vertebrae with several different parts such as: the cervical (at the top), the thoracic (after the cervical), then lumbar( after the thoracic) and to finish it up the coccyx/sacrum
Cervical Thoracic Lumbar Sacral Coccyx
7 Cervical Vertebrae12 Thoracic Vertebrae5 Lumbar Vertebrae5 Sacral Vertebrae3-5 Coccyx Vertebrae (although these are usually fused together)
There are 7 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar, a sacrum, and a coccyx.
your spine is split into several different columns, they are: cervical thoracic lumbar coccyx
Cervical - region of the neck Thoracic - region of the chest Lumbar - region of the waist Sacral - region of the sacrum Coccygeal - region of the tailbone
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).
coccyx-the remains of the tail cervical-support the neck (lift, bend and turn the head) sacral- fused to pelvic, base of trunk and legs lumbar- allow twisting and turning, provide attachment for back muscles thoracic-short floating ribs
Other than coccyx. What are the four groups of vertebrae called? In order: 1. Cervical 2. Lumber 3. Thoracic 4. Sacral Thank you
There are 7 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar, 5 sacrum and 4 coccyx (fused) - making 33 bones in total.
Yes, not counting the sacrum or coccyx. 7 cervical + 12 thoracic + 5 lumbar = 24.
