34 vertebrae.
There are 24 movable vertebrae in the spine--7 cervical vertebrae in the neck, 12 thoracic vertebrae in the mid-back, and 5 lumbar vertebrae in the lower back.
7 cervical vertebrae + 12 thoracic vertebrae + 5 lumbar verterbae + 5 sacral vertebrae + 4 caudal vertebrae = 33
The upper back vertebrae are also known as the thoracic vertebrae.
The vertebrae located in the lower back are known as the lumbar vertebrae. They are the five largest and strongest vertebrae in the spinal column, situated below the thoracic vertebrae and above the sacrum. The lumbar vertebrae support the majority of the body's weight and are responsible for the flexibility and movement of the lower back.
