- Those boney sections are presented in the next slide.

- Vertebral Column
- Cervical Vertebra = 7
- Thoracic Vertebra = 12
- Lumbar Vertebra = 5
- Sacral Vertebra = 5 fused
- Coccyx Vertebra = 4 fused
Abnormalities to the Spine
- Scoliosis
- Lateral curvature of the spine
- Lordosis
- Anterior curvature of the lumbar spine
- Kyphosis
- Posterior curvature of the thoracic spine
