Almost all humans are born with 33 separate vertebrae. By adulthood, most have only 24. This is due to the fusion of the vertebrae in certain parts of the spine during normal development. Different textbooks give different answers to this question. The confusion comes from the fact that the two lowest vertebrae -- the sacrum and the coccyx -- are each one bone, but they are made up from smaller bones fused together.
There are 24 separate vertebrae; then there is the sacrum, which is formed from 5 fused vertebrae; and finally the coccyx, which is formed from between 3-5 fused vertebrae. Therefore, if the coccyx and sacrum are each classed as one vertebra, then there are 26 vertebrae. If the fused vertebrae are all counted separately, then there are 32-34 vertebrae. 32
The human spine has 7 cervical, 12 Thoracic and 5 Lumbar vertebrae as well as 5 (fused) in the sacrum and another 4 (fused) in the coccyx which totals 33.33 in total. 7 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar 5 sacral+4 coccygeal (fused)
24, and are grouped under the names cervical (7 vertebrae), thoracic (12 vertebrae) and lumbar (5 vertebrae), according to the regions they occupy.

There's a total of 33 vertebrae - comprising... 7 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar, 5 sacral and 4 coccyx (fused)
The correct answer is 33
But usually there are "fused" bones (probably a bad thing) during our human development.
I should point out that this number 33 has significance in many other areas besides just the actual number of our human vertebrae.

There are 7 cervical vertebrae, 12 thoracic vertebrae, 5 lumbar vertebrae, 5 sacral vertebrae and 4 coccygeal vertebrae. That's a total of 33 vertebrae.

26 vertebrae make up the spine. Oddly enough, we have the same amount of vertebrae as giraffes do!
in the human spine there is 7 cervical, 12 thoracic, and 5 lumbar vertebae.
The spine consist of 24 moving segments plus the sacrum and the coccyx.

Vertebral Column
- Cervical Vertebrae - 7
- Thoracic Vertebrae - 12
- Lumbar Vertebrae - 5
- Sacrum -1
- Coccyx - 1
Total Vertebral Column = 26
In the human vertebral column, there exist the following vertebrae:
7 Cervical Vertebrae
12 Thoracic Vertebrae
5 Lumbar Vertebrae
Although these are the vertebrae commonly recognized as the spine, there is also the sacrum (In layman's terms: the arrowhead shaped bone structure at the bottom of the spine, before the tailbone). The sacrum is actually made up of vertebrae which are fused together to make a more whole bone structure.
5 vertebrae make up the sacrum
Also, the coccyx (tailbone) is considered another vertebrae
1 vertebrae in the coccyx
