Of the 33 vertebrae in humans, 24 are articulated and separated by intervertabral discs, 9 are fused. Therefore, apart from the 9 fused, the other 24 do not sit directly on top of one another. They are separated by a cartilage joint to allow slight movement of the vertebrae and act as a ligament to hold them together
