Bones are joined together by joints. There are three main categories of joints, depending on how they are constructed and how much they move. The bones that make up the vertebral column are considered slightly movable and are called amphiarthrotic.

The bones of the skullThe bones of the thoraxThe bones of the vertebral column
The arrangement of the bones in the vertebral column start with the cervical spine. The cervical spine controls the head and neck. The next section of the vertebral column is the thoracic spine which controls the truck and mid back. The last vertebral column is the lumbar spine which is responsible for the legs.
The occipital bone at the base of the skull articulates with the atlas (C1) of the spine. The other bones that connect to the vertebral column are the 12 pairs of ribs.
The vertebral column or spinal column, is a column of 26 bones in an adult body. 24 separate vertebrae interspaced with cartilage, and then additionally the sacrum and coccyx.
