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.
