There are 5 cervical vertebrae (neck bones)
and 12 thoracic vertebrae (in the rib cage area)
and 5 lumbar vertebrae (in the small of the back)
and 6 sacral vertebrae ( the back of your hips, and in adults are normally fused into 1 bony structure)
and 3 to 5 coccyx bones (tail bones)
Say, between 31 and 33 vertebrae, total.

How many movable vertebrae in the spine?
In America there is a pie called american pie
Is the backbone a movable joint?
No, the backbone is not a joint. It is made up of individual bones called vertebrae that are connected by ligaments and do not move independently. The backbone provides structure and support to the body and protects the spinal cord.

What are the individual bones of the spine called?
The individual bones of the spine are called vertebrae. There are 33 vertebrae in total, categorized into five regions: cervical (neck), thoracic (upper back), lumbar (lower back), sacral (pelvis), and coccygeal (tailbone).

Is your vertebrae movable?
Almost all the joints between vertebrae are movable. The joints between the cervical vertebrae and lumber vertebrae have fairly good movement. Between thoracic vertebrae only you have less movement. But then they do move on each other.
What are the 26 small backbones?
Typically there are 7 vertebrae in the neck called cervical vertebrae. They are commonly called C1-C7. The first cervical vertebra is also called the atlas, and the second, the axis. Typically there are twelve thoracic vertebrae to which the ribs attach. Typically there are five lumbar vertebrae in the lower back. Caudal ('toward the tail' or below in the standing position) to the lumbar vertebrae is the sacrum. Caudal the the sacrum is the coccyx. It is often called the tailbone. Commonly, the coccyx is formed by two or three segments. Many people have a sixth lumbar vertebra which is usually a part of the sacrum which did not fuse to the other segments of the sacrum during development. Sometimes a vertebra, usually a thoracic vertebra, fully develops on only one side, so one might say there are 12 vertebrae on one side, and 11 on the other. That is called a hemivertebra. Sometimes 2 vertebrae are fused together, making one bone instead of two.
What chordate structure becomes the spinal chord in vertebrates?
In vertebrates, a backbone of bone or cartilage segments called vertebrae develops around the notochord. Hope i could help
What are the vertebrae in the neck region called?
The vertebrae in the neck region are called cervical vertebrae. There are seven cervical vertebrae labeled C1 to C7, with C1 being closest to the skull and C7 being closest to the thoracic vertebrae.

Is the backbone a movable joint?
No, the backbone is not a joint. It is made up of individual bones called vertebrae that are connected by ligaments and do not move independently. The backbone provides structure and support to the body and protects the spinal cord.
Some segments in chordates have been modified into stacked layers called?
Some segments in chordates have been modified into stacked layers called somites, which give rise to structures like vertebrae, ribs, and muscles. These somites are formed during embryonic development and play a crucial role in shaping the body plan of chordates.
