Is it abnormal to have a pronounced vertebrae where the cervical spine meets the thoracic spine and can it be fixed?
The "spinous process" is the bump that you see/feel at the junction of the cervical and thoracic spine. It is, by nature the, most protruding of all the vertebrae. In fact, it's anatomical title is the "vertebral prominance." In 70% of the population it is C7, in the other 30% it is T1. You can get it fixed, but there's no reason to. It's large size is necessary to accommodate all the muscle attachment. Thomas A. Bea

What are the names of the five different types of vertebrae in the vertebral column?
Vertebrae are divided into sections: the atlas and axis account for the first cervical vertebrae, of which there are 7 in total; there are 12 thoracic vertebrae, 7 lumbar vertebrae, 1 sacrum (5 separate vertebrae in a baby), and 1 coccyx (4 separate vertebrae in a baby).
Where is the cervical vertebrae located?
The thoracic vertebrae, of which there are 12.
What are three types of vertebra?
cervical vertebrae thoracic vertebrae. lumbar vertebrae
Which of the vertebrae can be associated with the chest?
The thoracic vertebrae are found in the chest region of the body. Humans have twelve thoracic vertebrae which are located between the cervical and lumbar vertebrae.
Who many thoracic vertebra does a human have?
A human has 12 thoracic vertebrae, located in the middle section of the spine between the cervical and lumbar vertebrae.
What are the vertebrae in the neck region called?
The vertebrae in the neck region are called cervical vertebrae. There are seven cervical vertebrae labeled C1 to C7, with C1 being closest to the skull and C7 being closest to the thoracic vertebrae.
What are the three types of vertebrae?
The three types of vertebrae are cervical (in the neck region), thoracic (in the chest region), and lumbar (in the lower back region). Each type of vertebra has unique characteristics that provide support and flexibility to the spine.
What is the spine called?
Vertebrae with several different parts such as: the cervical (at the top), the thoracic (after the cervical), then lumbar( after the thoracic) and to finish it up the coccyx/sacrum
Each part of the spine?
The cervical bones (1-5) run from the base of the skull to the bottom of the neck, roughly. The thoracic vertebrae (1-12) run from the end of the cervical spine to the lumbar spine. The lumbar vertebrae (1-5) run from the end of the thoracic spine to the tailbone.
How many vertebrae are there in each of the three superior region of the vertebral column?
Cervical (most superior portion of the vertebral column) = 7 vertebraeThoracic (just inferior to the cervical region, superior to lumbar) = 12 vertebraeLumbar (inferior to the thoracic region, superior to the sacral region) = 5 vertebrae
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.
Lordosis affects the thoracic vertebrae?
Lordosis typically affects the lumbar spine, causing an excessive inward curve. It is less common for lordosis to affect the thoracic vertebrae, as the thoracic spine naturally has a slight outward curve called kyphosis. Any abnormal curve in the thoracic spine can lead to pain and other symptoms.
