Almost all humans are born with 33 separate vertebrae. By adulthood, most have only 24. This is due to the fusion of the vertebrae in certain parts of the spine during normal development. Different textbooks give different answers to this question. The confusion comes from the fact that the two lowest vertebrae -- the sacrum and the coccyx -- are each one bone, but they are made up from smaller bones fused together.
There are 24 separate vertebrae; then there is the sacrum, which is formed from 5 fused vertebrae; and finally the coccyx, which is formed from between 3-5 fused vertebrae. Therefore, if the coccyx and sacrum are each classed as one vertebra, then there are 26 vertebrae. If the fused vertebrae are all counted separately, then there are 32-34 vertebrae. 32
The human spine has 7 cervical, 12 Thoracic and 5 Lumbar vertebrae as well as 5 (fused) in the sacrum and another 4 (fused) in the coccyx which totals 33.-Wikipedia
There's a total of 33 vertebrae - comprising... 7 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar, 5 sacral and 4 coccyx (fused)
The correct answer is 33
But usually there are "fused" bones (probably a bad thing) during our human development.
I should point out that this number 33 has significance in many other areas besides just the actual number of our human vertebrae.

There are 7 cervical vertebrae, 12 thoracic vertebrae, 5 lumbar vertebrae, 5 sacral vertebrae and 4 coccygeal vertebrae. That's a total of 33 vertebrae.

26 vertebrae make up the spine. Oddly enough, we have the same amount of vertebrae as giraffes do!
in the human spine there is 7 cervical, 12 thoracic, and 5 lumbar vertebae.
The spine consist of 24 moving segments plus the sacrum and the coccyx.

Vertebral Column
Total Vertebral Column = 26
In the human vertebral column, there exist the following vertebrae:
7 Cervical Vertebrae
12 Thoracic Vertebrae
5 Lumbar Vertebrae
Although these are the vertebrae commonly recognized as the spine, there is also the sacrum (In layman's terms: the arrowhead shaped bone structure at the bottom of the spine, before the tailbone). The sacrum is actually made up of vertebrae which are fused together to make a more whole bone structure.
5 vertebrae make up the sacrum
Also, the coccyx (tailbone) is considered another vertebrae
1 vertebrae in the coccyx
The same as any human, 32. I can understand why some might guess it was more because of the sacrum and coxis being fused in adults but even when they are fused they are counted as separate bones.
How many cerival Vertebrae are there in the human body?
There are about 33 vertebrae in a human being.
7 cervical
12 thoracic
5 lumbar
1 (fused) sacral
1 (fused) cocci
so 26 all together.
33. 7 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar, 5 sacral, 4 coccyx.

An adult has 24 vertebrae. Babies have more.

33 vertebrae in the spinal cord of a human being
There are five vertebrae, or bones, in the lumbar spine.
There are 12 thoracic vertebrae
The human cervical spine is made up of seven vertebrae. In fact, nearly all mammals have seven cervical vertebrae, even giraffes.
What is degenerative joint disorder in the vertebrae? and what can it do to a human?

The spine is made up of vertebrae.
the answer is 5 vertabrae in the lumbar section
There are 7 (seven) cervical (neck) vertebrae in the human neck.
a human being has 33 vertebrae all together including neck to spine and everything. and then for a humans neck is the same as a giraffe which is 7 vertebrae in their neck since they are both mammals the vertebrae are just different sizes.
They are like little bones. In the back.
