there are 12 bones in the thoracic column.
The ribs, the thoracic vertebrae and the sternum, some would also consider the clavicle part of the thoracic cage.
The bones of the spine are called vertebrae. There are 33 total vertebrae in 5 regions: cervical (7), thoracic (12), lumbar (5), sacral (5), and coccygael (4). (The 5 bones of the sacral region are fused, as are the 4 bones of the coccygeal region.)
Yes, the acromial region is inferior to the thoracic region. The acromial region is located on the shoulder, specifically at the lateral end of the spine of the scapula. The thoracic region refers to the chest area, which is above the shoulder region.
The inferior border of the thoracic region is the bottom of the ribs. Thus all the ribs are within the thoracic region, icluding the two flaoting ribs at the bottom.
There are twelve different bones that known as thoratic vertabrae.
The ribs articulate with the thoracic vertebrae.
All ribs are attached in the back to the thoracic vertebrae.
There are 33 bones in the spinal column. There are five regions in the column. In descending order there is the Cervical region which has 7 bone, Thoracic region which has 12 bones, Lumbar region which has 5 bones, Sacral region which has 5 bones (these bones are fused together), and the Coccygeal region that has 4 bones (these bones are fused together). The coccygeal region can actually have anywhere from 3-5 bones, but the average is 4.
The scientific name for the upper back region is the "dorsal region" or "thoracic region." This area includes the thoracic vertebrae and the muscles that run along the upper back.
