What part of the body is the spine?
Firstly, the spine is separated into three separate types of vertebrae: the first seven starting at the base of the skull are the cervical vertebrae (and the first specifically being the atlas and second the axis), the next twelve are the thoracic vertebrae, and the last five are the lumbar vertebrae. The spine ends with the large sacrum bone and then ends with the coccyx (tailbone). between these vertebrae are disks of hyaline cartilage. The vertebral column houses the spinal cord. The spinal cord branches out between each vertebrae with nerves that lead to different areas of the body.

Does the thoracic and lumbar vertebra have a transverse foramina?
A transverse foramen is located on the transverse process of cervicle vertebra.

What is the massive vertebrae?
The term "massive vertebrae" typically refers to large or robust vertebral bones that provide structural support and stability to the spine. This can be seen in certain species of animals, such as large mammals, where the vertebrae are adapted to support greater body weight and withstand significant mechanical stress. In humans, the lumbar vertebrae are among the largest, designed to bear the load of the upper body and allow for a range of movements. Overall, massive vertebrae play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity and function of the vertebral column.
