lumbar
the thoracic spine is above the lumbar spine which means ALL thoracic vertebrae are superior to the lumbar vertebrae.
The thoracic spine has the most vertebrae - twelve.
There are three parts of the spine, the cervical, thoracic and lumbar. Each vertebrae is listed by its number. For example the first 7 vertebrae (from the top) are listed as C1-C7 meaning C for cervical. The thoracic vertebrae starts after C7, the 8th vertebrae is T1-T12, so there is 12 individual vertebraes in the thoracic spine. After the thoracic, is the lumbar which have 5 individual vertebrae, L1-L5.
There are typically five lumbar vertebrae in a normal adult human spine. The lumbar vertebrae are located in the lower part of the spine, below the thoracic vertebrae and above the sacrum.
Lordosis typically affects the lumbar spine, causing an excessive inward curve. It is less common for lordosis to affect the thoracic vertebrae, as the thoracic spine naturally has a slight outward curve called kyphosis. Any abnormal curve in the thoracic spine can lead to pain and other symptoms.

Scoliosis is a condition characterized by an abnormal lateral curvature of the spine. It can occur at any level of the spine, including the cervical (neck), thoracic (upper back), and lumbar (lower back) regions. The most common location for scoliosis is the thoracic spine, which is the upper and middle part of the back.

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.
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
There are typically five lumbar vertebrae in a normal adult human spine. The lumbar vertebrae are located in the lower part of the spine, below the thoracic vertebrae and above the sacrum.
There are four curves in the spine. They are the Cervical, Thoracic, Lumbar and Pelvic curves.
