Answer 1

When looking at the range of motion of the various sections of the vertebral column the cervical vertebrae has the most flexibility.

What is the vertebral column?

• The vertebral column, also known as the backbone or spine, is part of the axial skeleton.
• The vertebral column is the defining characteristic of a vertebrate in which the notochord (a flexible rod of uniform composition) found in all chordates has been replaced by a segmented series of bone: vertebrae separated by intervertebral discs.
• The vertebral column houses the spinal canal, a cavity that encloses and protects the spinal cord.
• Individual vertebrae are named according to their region and position.

From top to bottom, the vertebrae are:

1. Cervical spine: 7 vertebrae (C1–C7)
2. Thoracic spine: 12 vertebrae (T1–T12)
3. Lumbar spine: 5 vertebrae (L1–L5)
4. Sacrum: 5 (fused) vertebrae (S1–S5)
5. Coccyx: 4 (3–5) (fused) vertebrae (Tailbone)

The combined region of the thoracic and lumbar vertebrae is known as the thoracolumbar division.
