There are essentially 3 curves in the human spine:
1. Cervical lordotic curve
2. Thoracic kyphotic curve
3. Lumbar lordotic curve
In summary the human spine has 2 lordotic curves and 1 kyphotic curve.
If you are looking at a person sideways with their face facing towards your left, the lordotic curve is concave and the kyphotic curve is convex.
