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
Cervical Thoracic Lumbar Sacral Coccyx
The vertebral column is divided into five regions: cervical (neck), thoracic (chest), lumbar (lower back), sacral (pelvic), and coccygeal (tailbone). Each region has a specific number of vertebrae that provide support and flexibility to the spine.

your spine is split into several different columns, they are: cervical thoracic lumbar coccyx
Cervical - region of the neck Thoracic - region of the chest Lumbar - region of the waist Sacral - region of the sacrum Coccygeal - region of the tailbone
coccyx-the remains of the tail cervical-support the neck (lift, bend and turn the head) sacral- fused to pelvic, base of trunk and legs lumbar- allow twisting and turning, provide attachment for back muscles thoracic-short floating ribs
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).

Other than coccyx. What are the four groups of vertebrae called? In order: 1. Cervical 2. Lumber 3. Thoracic 4. Sacral Thank you
There are 7 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar, 5 sacrum and 4 coccyx (fused) - making 33 bones in total.
The 33 vertebrae in the human spine are divided as follows: 7 cervical vertebrae, 12 thoracic vertebrae, 5 lumbar vertebrae, 5 sacral vertebrae (fused into the sacrum), and 4 coccygeal vertebrae (fused into the coccyx).
