THIS WILL HELP U FRND!!!

The vertebral column is the most important collection of bones to maintain stability of the skeletal structure and support of the entire body, especially when upright. It is made up of 33 bones, known as vertebra (plural ~ vertebrae), which may be fused at certain points, like in the lower parts of the spinal column. The spine is flexible because most of the vertebrae are separated from each other by an intervertebral disc, allowing articulation between the bones.
The vertebral column can be divided into five sections :
1. Cervical (top)
2. Thoracic
3. Lumbar
4. Sacral
5. Coccygeal (bottom)

=====================================================================

Move your finger along the middle of your back, and feel the presence of a chain of small bony pieces. This is our backbone ( also known as the vertebral column).

It consists of 33 small ring- like vertebrae arranged in five groups ::

→ Cervical (neck) vertebrae = 7

→ Thoracic (chest) vertebrae = 12

→ Lumbar (midback) vertebrae = 5

→ Sacrum (lower back) = 5 fused

→ Coccyx (tail bone) = 4 fused
