The vertebrae nearest the abdominal region are the thoracic vertebrae.
The three types of vertebrae are cervical (in the neck region), thoracic (in the chest region), and lumbar (in the lower back region). Each type of vertebra has unique characteristics that provide support and flexibility to the spine.
The type of joint found between the first and second vertebrae of the neck region, or the backbone, is called the atlantoaxial joint. It allows for rotation and flexion of the neck.
The vertebrae in the neck region are called cervical vertebrae. There are seven cervical vertebrae labeled C1 to C7, with C1 being closest to the skull and C7 being closest to the thoracic vertebrae.
