The bones of the back are the vertebrae, doughnut-shaped bones with the spinal nerves running through them and spongy cartilage discs between most of them.

In humans, the spine consists of 33 vertebrae divided into five groups: the cervical vertebrae (neck), thoracic vertebrae (ribs), the lumbar vertebrae (back), the sacral vertebrae (hips) and the coccygeal vertebrae (coccyx or tailbone).
