The cervical spine is in the neck and is above the lumbar spine, which is in the low back. Because we reference things from anatomical position, which is standing upright, and because the term "inferior" is used to denote things that are below, that statement would be incorrect. Therefore, we could correctly say the cervical spine is superior, or rostral, to the lumbar spine. We could also say that the lumbar spine is inferior, or caudal, to the cervical spine.

2 The Thoracic vertebrae is inferior to the lumbar vertebrae?
the thoracic spine is above the lumbar spine which means ALL thoracic vertebrae are superior to the lumbar vertebrae.
Where in the spine do most injuries occur?
The cervical spine and the lumbar region. The cervical spine supports the head and is a major threat if injured trauma in this region (Above C3) can cause respiratory arrest.The lower back (lumbar spine) has the least structural support and endures the most strain, making it the most frequently injured area of the spine.The 12 vertebral bodies in the upper back make up the thoracic spine. The firm attachment of the rib cage at each level of the thoracic spine provides stability and structural support and allows very little motion, which means that thoracic disc injuries are rare.
What is the the different freely movable joints in your spine?
The spine is made up of boney vertebra: Cervical spine, Thoracic spine, and Lumbar spine.
How many vertebrae are there in each of the three superior region of the vertebral column?
Cervical (most superior portion of the vertebral column) = 7 vertebraeThoracic (just inferior to the cervical region, superior to lumbar) = 12 vertebraeLumbar (inferior to the thoracic region, superior to the sacral region) = 5 vertebrae
What are the parts of the neck?
The part of the spine at the neck is known as the cervical spine. The upper back contains the thoracic spine, and the lower back is the lumbar spine.
Were is scoliosis located in the spine?
Scoliosis can be located in the cervical, thoracic or lumbar area of the spine Cervical = neck Thoracic = mid spine Lumbar = lower spine

What is the proper order of vertebrae from superior to inferior?
Cervical Thoracic Lumbar Sacral
How many segment make up the spine?
cervical, thoracic, lumbar and sacral.
Does scoliosis have a curve in it?
Scoliosis is curvature of the spine, either cervical, thoracic and lumbar
Each part of the spine?
The cervical bones (1-5) run from the base of the skull to the bottom of the neck, roughly. The thoracic vertebrae (1-12) run from the end of the cervical spine to the lumbar spine. The lumbar vertebrae (1-5) run from the end of the thoracic spine to the tailbone.
What are the three sections of the backbone?
The normal anatomy of the spine is usually described by dividing up the spine into 3 major sections: the cervical, the thoracic, and the lumbar spine. (Below the lumbar spine is a bone called the sacrum, which is part of the pelvis). Each section is made up of individual bones called vertebrae. There are 7 cervical vertebrae, 12 thoracic vertebrae, and 5 lumbar vertebrae.Anatomy of the Spine
How many vertebrae are there in each of the three superior region of the vertebral column?
Cervical (most superior portion of the vertebral column) = 7 vertebraeThoracic (just inferior to the cervical region, superior to lumbar) = 12 vertebraeLumbar (inferior to the thoracic region, superior to the sacral region) = 5 vertebrae
How many spinal curves are there?
There are four curves in the spine. They are the Cervical, Thoracic, Lumbar and Pelvic curves.
What are the parts of the neck?
The part of the spine at the neck is known as the cervical spine. The upper back contains the thoracic spine, and the lower back is the lumbar spine.
