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.
Yes, the atlas is classified as the first cervical vertebra (C1) in the human spine. It is named after the Greek titan Atlas who was condemned to hold up the sky, symbolizing its role in supporting the head.
The seventh cervical vertebra is called as vertebra prominens. This vertebra has the long and prominent spine. This spine can be felt at the joint of the neck and thorax.
The c5 vertebra is located in the lower part of the neck, just below the c4 vertebra. The c4 vertebra is slightly higher up in the neck compared to the c5 vertebra.
Body of the vertebra. It is fused with the Axis vertebra. Axis being the second vertebra.
The human body has 13 thoracic vertebrae, which are located in the chest area and help protect the spinal cord. Each thoracic vertebra is associated with a rib, totaling 12 pairs with one additional vertebra called T1.
There are seven cervical (neck) vertebra.
