Question

Human vertebral column consists of 33 vertebrae and______bones.

• A. 33
• B. 26
• C. 27
• D. 29

Answer 1

The correct option is B 26

The human vertebral column consists of 33 vertebrae: 24 presacral vertebrae (7 cervical, 12 thoracic, and 5 lumbar) followed by the sacrum (5 fused sacral vertebrae) and the coccyx (4 frequently fused coccygeal vertebrae). The spine, also known as the vertebral column or spinal column, is a column of 26 bones in an adult body, 24 separate vertebrae interspaced with cartilage, and then add the sacrum and coccyx.

So the correct option is '26'.
