The lumbar vertebrae are carrying the most weight as the whole of the the thorax, head, abdomen, and upper limbs are above them. This extra weight puts more pressure on these disks increasing the risk of rupturing. The reason the IV disks in the sacral region arent at even higher risk rupturing even though they Cary even more weight? They don't exist, evolution has allowed the vertebrea of this region to fuse together.

How many bones are in the lumber?
The lumbar region of the vertebral column contains 5 vertebrae (the bones of the spine).
How many vertebra fuse to form the sacrum?
You have 7 unfused cervical vertebrae. You have 12 unfused thoracic vertebrae. You have 5 unfused lumber vertebrae. The five vetebrae are fused in case of the sacrum. That is the need of the hour. You can not support the hip bones with out that fusion. Then there are few fused vertebrae in coccyx.
What is found only in the cervical vertebrae?
In the cervical and thoracic area of your spine. The cervical vertebrae starts right under your skull (following what's called the occipital foramen/foramen magnum). There are 7 cervical verterbrae and they end aproximatively under your neck (in the place where you feel a small circular prominence). Right under there are the thoracic vertebrae, in the number of 12. They end, let's say, at the upper part of your lower back.

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.
How many curvature does vertebral column have?
You have the convex anteriorly curve of cervical vertebrae. You have the concave anteriorly curve of thoracic vertebrae. Again you have the convex anteriorly curve of lumber vertebrae. The sacrum goes steep backward from the last lumber vertebra. Here no curve is described probably. So you have lardosis of cervical and lumber vertebrae. You have kyphosis of the thoracic vertebrae.
How far does the spinal cord extend down the spinal column?
second lumber vertebrae
How many bones are in the lumber?
The lumbar region of the vertebral column contains 5 vertebrae (the bones of the spine).
What are the different vertebrae in the back bone?

Small bones protecting the spinal cord?
There isextension of brain in neck, thorax and abdomen in what is called as vertebral column. You have seven cervical vertebrae, twelve thoracic vertebrae and five lumber vertebrae fallowed by sacrum.In between them, you have inter-vertebral disc and various ligaments. Which keep them in position. In the hollow part of these vertebrae, there is spinal cord. It extends to the lower border of second lumber vertebrae. Down to it, there is bundle of nerves called as cauda-equina.
What are the common dimensions of the lumber known as 4 x 8 lumber?
