Almost all the joints between vertebrae are movable. The joints between the cervical vertebrae and lumber vertebrae have fairly good movement. Between thoracic vertebrae only you have less movement. But then they do move on each other.

Twenty-six vertebrae in a body?

The human spine typically consists of 33 vertebrae, but 26 of these are often referenced when considering the vertebrae that contribute to the movable sections of the spine. This includes 7 cervical, 12 thoracic, and 5 lumbar vertebrae. The remaining vertebrae are fused into the sacrum and coccyx. These 26 vertebrae play a crucial role in providing support, flexibility, and protection for the spinal cord.

What are the three types of jointes?

Classified by type of cartilage: Fibrous joints-immovable such as sutures in the skull. Cartilaginous- partially movable such as vertebrae. Synovial- Freely movable such as knee and finger joints. Classified by functional use: synarthrosis - permits little or no mobility (mostly fibrous joints as in the skull). amphiarthrosis - permits slight mobility (mostly cartilaginous joints as with vertebrae) diarthrosis - freely movable (synovial joints used in body movement)


How does the vertebrae protect the spinal cord also allow for movement?

Your spine is an elaborate unit structurally consisting of 33 vertebrae, 24 movable and 9 fused, and 23 intervertebral discs. In between each of the 24 movable vertebrae, except between C1/C2 (atlas and axis), discs are situated. These discs allow for the mobility, curvature, and shock absorption qualities of the spine. The vertebrae themselves are the main structures that protect the spinal cord via the posterior arch, consisting of pedicles and laminae. Therefore, the vertebrae protect the integrity of the spinal cord, but the discs are the structures responsible for the motion of the spine.


What vertebra is number 12 not fused?

The 12th vertebra, known as the lumbar vertebra (L1), is not fused with any other vertebrae. It is the last of the five lumbar vertebrae in the lower back and is characterized by its larger size compared to the thoracic vertebrae above it. Unlike the sacral vertebrae, which are fused together, L1 remains a separate and movable vertebra, allowing for flexibility and support in the lumbar region.


How many vertebra do human have?

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.
