Vertebral Column:
The vertebral column is commonly referred to as the spine. The spine is composed of thirty-three vertebrae. Beginning at the head, there are 7 cervical vertebrae, then 12 thoracic vertebrae which support the rib cage. The lower back is composed of 5 lumbar vertebrae which leads to 5 fused vertebrae that comprise the sacrum and 5 fused vertebrae that make up the coccyx.
