Stamp the blue words on it and pay attention to us! We often hear the teacher say: “how soft the spine is, how young people are.” Why? Let’s know our spine first, and you will know the answer ~ the composition of spine: the spine is composed of 26 vertebrae, 7 cervical vertebrae, 12 thoracic vertebrae, 5 lumbar vertebrae, 1 sacrum and 1 tailbone
.
It can also be said that it consists of 33 vertebrae, 5 sacrum and 4 coccyx in childhood, which are slowly combined into one with age
.
A complete spine is formed by connecting ligaments, joints and intervertebral discs
