Mammals have 7 cervical (neck) vertebrae. This is true of giraffes. The total number of dorsal vertebrae also varies, but is usually fairly constant among mammalian families. The hoofed mammals almost always have 19 dorsal vertebrae. That is also true in humans.
In mammals, the sacrum is formed by the fusion of 3 to 5 vertebrae. True for both.
The number of caudal vertebrae can vary between individuals. But it is about 20 for the giraffe. Humans may have 2-3.

How is the circulatory system of a human and a giraffes circulatory system different?

The main difference between the circulatory systems of humans and giraffes is the length of their blood vessels. Giraffes have very long necks, so their heart must pump blood with enough force to reach their brain. This results in higher blood pressure and a larger heart compared to humans. Additionally, giraffes have specialized valves in their neck to prevent blood from rushing to their brain when they lower their heads to drink.
