varies, depending on the species.
Each vertebra typically has two articular surfaces, which are the surfaces where one vertebra meets another. These surfaces are covered with cartilage and form joints called facet joints, which allow for smooth movement and stability within the spine.
You have the convex anteriorly curve of cervical vertebrae. You have the concave anteriorly curve of thoracic vertebrae. Again you have the convex anteriorly curve of lumber vertebrae. The sacrum goes steep backward from the last lumber vertebra. Here no curve is described probably. So you have lardosis of cervical and lumber vertebrae. You have kyphosis of the thoracic vertebrae.
A dog's tail typically contains anywhere from 6 to 23 vertebrae, depending on the breed and size of the dog. Generally, smaller breeds have fewer vertebrae in their tails compared to larger breeds.
A dolphin has a backbone as it is vertebrate
Humans typically have 33 vertebrae, but only 24 of these are movable. The first 7 are cervical vertebrae in the neck, followed by 12 thoracic vertebrae in the mid-back, and 5 lumbar vertebrae in the lower back. Below the lumbar region are the sacrum and coccyx, which are fused vertebrae.
The average dog has 26 vertebrae. 7 cervical, 13 thoracic, and 6 lumbar. Some breeds such as the English Bulldog may frequently have a 7th lumbar vertebra, or a portion of a vertebra called a transitional vertebra.
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.
You have 7 unfused cervical vertebrae. You have 12 unfused thoracic vertebrae. You have 5 unfused lumber vertebrae. The five vetebrae are fused in case of the sacrum. That is the need of the hour. You can not support the hip bones with out that fusion. Then there are few fused vertebrae in coccyx.
A cow has from 18 - 20 caudal (tail) vertebrae
7 cervical vertebrae + 12 thoracic vertebrae + 5 lumbar verterbae + 5 sacral vertebrae + 4 caudal vertebrae = 33
There are 33 vertebrae in the spinal cord of a human being. They are broadly categorized into 5 areas. They are called the cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacrum & coccyx vertebra. The upper 3 areas have a total of 24 vertebrae, which includes 7 cervical vertebrae, 12 thoracic vertebrae & 5 lumbar vertebrae. Sometimes the lumbar region, may have an additional vertebra, it does happen - but it is rare. 5 vertebrae are fused together to form the sacrum & 3 vertebrae form the end of the spinal column which is the coccyx.
There are 5 different portions of the vertebra starting from top to bottom: 7 Cervical Vertebra 12 Thoracic Vertebra 5 Lumbar Vertebra 5 Sacral Vertebra 4 Coccygeal Vertebra
7 Cervical, 13 Thoratic, 4 Lumbar, 3 Sacral and 30 Caudal for a total of 57 vertebrae.
A human has 12 thoracic vertebrae, located in the middle section of the spine between the cervical and lumbar vertebrae.
Each vertebra typically has two articular surfaces, which are the surfaces where one vertebra meets another. These surfaces are covered with cartilage and form joints called facet joints, which allow for smooth movement and stability within the spine.
only one special cervical vertebra and it is call the atlas.
There are typically 33 vertebrae in the human spine: 7 cervical vertebrae, 12 thoracic vertebrae, 5 lumbar vertebrae, 5 sacral vertebrae (fused into the sacrum), and 4 coccygeal vertebrae (fused into the coccyx).
