A fetus has around 33 vertebrae before birth, similar to an adult. However, in adults, some of these vertebrae fuse together, resulting in a total of 24 individual vertebrae: 7 cervical, 12 thoracic, and 5 lumbar. The sacrum and coccyx, which are made up of fused vertebrae, contribute to the total count in the fetal stage.
They have 33.
24. A fetus has 33, but later the bones of the sacrum and coccyx fuse together.
The scientific term for a baby in the womb is "fetus." This term is used to describe the developing offspring of mammals after the embryonic stage and before birth.
Wouldn't know unless there was more detail. There are many circumstances that can cause a miscarriage or a birth ending in stillbirth prematurely.
No. The fetus is developed by the mother, and what she partakes in, and consumes, will affect the baby through the blood supply. The birth defects from FAS (fetal alcohol syndrome) is one of many of these conditions. The only birth defects that the father could pass on to the fetus are those that which are genetic.
the first 7 vertebrae, the neck vertebrae, are considered to be cervical
there are 7 cervical vertebrae in a cat.
All cats are vertebrae's. there is not one that is not a vertebrae.
It possess 7 vertebrae in neck .
The human adult vertebral column consists of 26 bones. There are 7 cervical vertebrae, 12 thoracic vertebrae, 5 lumbar vertebrae, and 2 that are collections of fused bones, the sacrum and the coccyx. An infant may have 32, 33, or 34 spinal bones present at birth.
There are typically 33 vertebrae in the human spine: 7 cervical vertebrae, 12 thoracic vertebrae, 5 lumbar vertebrae, 5 sacral vertebrae (fused into the sacrum), and 4 coccygeal vertebrae (fused into the coccyx).
Twelve thoracic vertebrae, same as you have.
