The human spine is made up of 33 vertebrae (24 moveable and 9 fused) stacked to support movement and protect the spinal cord. There are 7 cervical (neck), 12 thoracic (upper back), and 5 lumbar (lower back) vertebrae — these 24 are movable. Below them sit the sacrum (5 fused) and coccyx (4 fused), forming a stable base.
