Other than coccyx. What are the four groups of vertebrae called?
In order:
1. Cervical
2. Lumber
3. Thoracic
4. Sacral
Thank you
It is consider as human seed for other live grow again to form human , it is the strongest bone in human and animal
The coccyx does not have a vertebral foramen like other vertebrae in the spine. It is a small triangular bone composed of fused vertebrae at the base of the spine, providing support and attachment for various muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
The spine, also known as the vertebral column or spinal column, is a column of 26 bones in an adult body – 24 separate vertebrae interspaced with cartilage, and then additionally the sacrum and coccyx.
Typically there are 7 vertebrae in the neck called cervical vertebrae. They are commonly called C1-C7. The first cervical vertebra is also called the atlas, and the second, the axis. Typically there are twelve thoracic vertebrae to which the ribs attach. Typically there are five lumbar vertebrae in the lower back. Caudal ('toward the tail' or below in the standing position) to the lumbar vertebrae is the sacrum. Caudal the the sacrum is the coccyx. It is often called the tailbone. Commonly, the coccyx is formed by two or three segments. Many people have a sixth lumbar vertebra which is usually a part of the sacrum which did not fuse to the other segments of the sacrum during development. Sometimes a vertebra, usually a thoracic vertebra, fully develops on only one side, so one might say there are 12 vertebrae on one side, and 11 on the other. That is called a hemivertebra. Sometimes 2 vertebrae are fused together, making one bone instead of two.
The spinal column consists of 33 irregular bones called vertebrae. Starting from the neck, there are seven cervical vertebrae. The first two vertebrae have specific names and are called the atlas and axis respectively. The next 12 vertebrae are called thoracic vertebrae, followed by five lumbar vertebrae, which are the largest of the spinal bones. Next, there are approximately five sacral vertebrae that are separate from each other as a young child, but fuse together as one bone called the sacrum in adults. Finally, the coccyx, more commonly called the tailbone, consists of 3-5 small bones that fuse together in adults.
Almost all humans are born with 33 separate vertebrae. By adulthood, most have only 24. This is due to the fusion of the vertebrae in certain parts of the spine during normal development. Different textbooks give different answers to this question. The confusion comes from the fact that the two lowest vertebrae -- the sacrum and the coccyx -- are each one bone, but they are made up from smaller bones fused together.There are 24 separate vertebrae; then there is the sacrum, which is formed from 5 fused vertebrae; and finally the coccyx, which is formed from between 3-5 fused vertebrae. Therefore, if the coccyx and sacrum are each classed as one vertebra, then there are 26 vertebrae. If the fused vertebrae are all counted separately, then there are 32-34 vertebrae. 32The human spine has 7 cervical, 12 Thoracic and 5 Lumbar vertebrae as well as 5 (fused) in the sacrum and another 4 (fused) in the coccyx which totals 33.33 in total. 7 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar 5 sacral+4 coccygeal (fused)24, and are grouped under the names cervical (7 vertebrae), thoracic (12 vertebrae) and lumbar (5 vertebrae), according to the regions they occupy. -WikipediaThere's a total of 33 vertebrae - comprising... 7 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar, 5 sacral and 4 coccyx (fused)The correct answer is 33But usually there are "fused" bones (probably a bad thing) during our human development.I should point out that this number 33 has significance in many other areas besides just the actual number of our human vertebrae.thirty-three (33)vertebraeinhumansThere are 7 cervical vertebrae, 12 thoracic vertebrae, 5 lumbar vertebrae, 5 sacral vertebrae and 4 coccygeal vertebrae. That's a total of 33 vertebrae.333326 vertebrae make up the spine. Oddly enough, we have the same amount of vertebrae as giraffes do!in the human spine there is 7 cervical, 12 thoracic, and 5 lumbar vertebae.The spine consist of 24 moving segments plus the sacrum and the coccyx.33. :)Vertebral ColumnCervical Vertebrae - 7Thoracic Vertebrae - 12Lumbar Vertebrae - 5Sacrum -1Coccyx - 1Total Vertebral Column = 26In the human vertebral column, there exist the following vertebrae:7 Cervical Vertebrae12 Thoracic Vertebrae5 Lumbar VertebraeAlthough these are the vertebrae commonly recognized as the spine, there is also the sacrum (In layman's terms: the arrowhead shaped bone structure at the bottom of the spine, before the tailbone). The sacrum is actually made up of vertebrae which are fused together to make a more whole bone structure.5 vertebrae make up the sacrumAlso, the coccyx (tailbone) is considered another vertebrae1 vertebrae in the coccyx
Coccydynia occurs in the lowest part of the spine, the coccyx, which represents a vestigial tail, or in other words the _æ_tail bone_æ. The name coccyx is derived from the Greek word for cuckoo due to its beak like appearance The coccyx itself is made up of 3 to 5 fused vertebrae. The ventral side of the coccyx is slightly concave where as the dorsal aspect is slightly convex.
Yes, there are differences between people of the number of vertebrae they have. There are usually 24 vertebrae in a human (not counting the sacrum and coccyx at the bottom of the spine) but not always. Some people have an extra lumbar vertebra, and they will have a total of 25 (not counting the sacrum and coccyx).Some anatomists don't count the sacrum and coccyx as vertebrae, others count them as one vertebra each. But the coccyx can be composed of up to 5 separate vertebrae. Therefore, if you count the sacrum as 1 and the coccyx as 5 (more on that below), then the maximum total number could be counted up to 31 (but usually are not).Here is how they add up:There are five sections of the spine: cervical (neck), thoracic (trunk/back), lumbar (low back), sacrum (attaches other vertebrae to the pelvis) and the coccyx (tailbone).Cervical vertebrae usually do not vary in number, there are 7.Thoracic vertebrae also usually do not vary, there are 12.Lumbar vertebrae are fairly often different in number from person to person. Usually there are 5, but many people have 6.The sacrum is one vertebra that was formed in utero (before birth) during fetal development from a group of vertebrae that become fused together. How many of these fuse can vary. This is a reason for some people to have 6 lumbar vertebrae, the extra one is one that did not fuse to become part of the sacrum and then remains to count as a separate lumbar vertebra, the 6th one just before the sacrum.The coccyx usually includes 4 vertebrae but can vary between 3-5. They can be all separate or all fused together or some fused and some separate.
An African human is just like a human from any other part of the world. All humans have 33 Vertebrae split into 5 regions. The top 7 are called the Cervical Vertebrae, then Next 12 are called the Thoracic Vertebrae, then the 5 Lumbar Vertebrae. All the vertebrae mentioned so far are free individual bones that are joined at their Vertebral Bodies by special cartilagenous joints called Intervertebral Disks. The next region down is the Sacral region (or Sacrum) within which all 5 vertebrae are fused to form effectively one bone. And the final 4 vertebrae are also fused to oneanother to form a structure known as the Coccyx. This adds up to a total of 33 vertebrae, present in all healthy human being. In plainer terms, healthy babies are born with 33 vertebrae, and through fusion a healthy adult is left with 26.
The Lion is a mammal and all mammalian animals have 33 vertebrae. The Giraffe, being mammalian, also has 33 vertebrae. The length of the Giraffe's neck obviously indicates each vertebrae bone would be considerably longer neck-wise than that of the Lion. Mammalian vertebrae are divided into 5 sub-groups and head down they are; Cervical 7, Thoracic 12, Lumbar 5, Sacral 5 and Coccyx 4.
What is often called the spine refers to a group of bone known as the vertebral column. This column is composed of vertebrae, the sacrum, and the coccyx. 2nd Answer: The spine is more specifically composed of the neck bones, or "C" vertebrae, so-called because their true names are "Cervical". There are 5 of these, the top two being also called the Atlas and the Axis. Next, named after the thorax of the body are the thoracic, or "T" vertebrae. There are 12 of these, T-1 through T-12. The small of the back, or Lumbar area, is composed of 5 "L", or Lumbar bones. The two spinal section between the 2 rear bones of the hips is actually part of the spine: The Sacrum. There are usually 5 "S" or Sacral vertebrae, and they are usually all fused together in adulthood. They sit like a wedge between the hipbones. And at the very bottom are the 3 or 4 bones of the coccyx, or "Tailbone". These coccygial bones are also fused together by adulthood.
No. The L5-S1 Intervertebral disc is the last disc in the spine because the 5 segments of the sacrum and the 4 segments of the coccyx are fused (though they are seperated from each other by a ligament).
