it sometimes depends on the person, but there are roughly 33 in the average person
it also depends what you count as vertabrae, as some people might tell you just 24
Individual vertebrae named according to region and position, from superior to inferior
- Cervical - 7 vertebrae (C1-C7)
- C1 is known as "atlas" and supports the head, C2 is known as "axis"
- Possesses bifid spinous processes, which is absent in C7
- Small-bodied
- Thoracic - 12 vertebrae (T1-T12)
- Distinguished by the presence of coastal facets for the articulation of the heads of ribs
- Body is intermediate in size between the cervical and lumbar vertebrae
- Lumbar - 5 vertebrae (L1-L5)
- Has a large body
- Does not have coastal facets nor transverse process foramina
- Sacral - 5 (fused) vertebrae (S1-S5)
- Coccygeal - 4 (3-5) (fused) vertebrae (Tailbone)

The cervical spine is made up of how many cervical vertebrae?
The cervical spine is made up of seven cervical vertebrae. These are numbered(C1-C7) and are the smallest of the true vertebrae. The third through sixth cervical vertebrae have characteristics in common. The first, second, and seventh are considered special cervical vertebrae, and have different characteristics.

The bone that run down your back?
The bone that runs down your back is called the spine, also known as the vertebral column or backbone. It is made up of 33 individual vertebrae stacked on top of each other, which are divided into different sections: Cervical spine (neck region) – 7 vertebrae Thoracic spine (upper and mid-back) – 12 vertebrae Lumbar spine (lower back) – 5 vertebrae Sacrum – 5 fused vertebrae Coccyx (tailbone) – 4 fused vertebrae The spine protects the spinal cord(561-836-7248) and supports the body, allowing flexibility and movement.
What kind of spine has 7 bones?
The cervical region of the spine contains 7 vertebrae. The best motion in this are is rotation. C1 (the atlas) and C2 (the axis) are specialized bones of rotation.

What are the divisions of the back and their abbreviations?
I'm assuming you mean the spine - The highest 7 vertebrae make up the cervical spine (or C spine) = the neck The next 12 vertebrae (where your ribs attach) make up the thoracic spine (or T spine) - this can also be referred to as the dorsal spine The next 5 vertebrae down make up the lumbar spine (or L spine) = the lower back And the sacrum is the very bottom of the spine made of 5 fused vertebrae.
What bones that protects your spinal cord are called?
They are called the vertebrae, and are divided into six different classes depending upon which part of the spine they consist of. The topmost ones are the cervical vertebrae, and the bottom-most ones the coxxygial vertebrae. The largest category are the lumbar vertebrae, which makes up at least a third of the spine as a whole.

Assuming you mean vertebrae; The human spine is made up of 33 vertebrae (Sungular: vertebra.) There are four sections of vertebrae. The cervical vertebrae is is made up of 7 vertebrae and makes up the neck. The thoracic vertebrae makes up the upper back and contains 12 vertebrae. the lumbar vertebrae area makes up the lower back between the thoracic vetrtabrae and the sacral curve, made up of 5 vertebrae. Lastly, The tailbone area is below the lumbar section and called the sacral curve. 5 vertebrae make up the sacrum and 4 are fused to make the tailbone. All vertebrae but the sacral curve section are separated by invertebral discs.
