There are 7 cervical vertebrae, 12 thoracic vertebrae, 5 lumbar vertebrae, the 5 sacral vertebrae fused to form the sacrum, and the 4 coccygeal vertebrae fused to form the coccyx. Depending on the way you count the number of bones, it comes to as few as 26 bones (just the fused sacrum and fused coccyx are counted) or 33 bones (if you count each bone that is fused).
