The lumbar, sacral, and thoracic regions refer to specific areas of the spine. The lumbar region consists of the five lower back vertebrae (L1-L5) and is responsible for bearing much of the body's weight and providing stability. The thoracic region, located above the lumbar region, contains twelve vertebrae (T1-T12) and is connected to the ribs, playing a key role in protecting the heart and lungs. The sacral region is a triangular bone at the base of the spine, made up of five fused vertebrae (S1-S5), which connects the spine to the pelvis.
