The spine, also known as the vertebral column or spinal column, is a column of 26 bones in an adult body – 24 separate vertebrae interspaced with cartilage plus the sacrum. The last is the coccyx which is not interspaced with cartilage. The spinal column is divided into 5 different areas grouped into seven cervical vertebrae in the neck, twelve thoracic vertebrae (corresponding to each pair of ribs), five sacral vertebrae which are fused together to form one bone called the sacrum.
