5 sacral fused to form the sacrum 7 cervical 12 thoracic 5 lumbar 4 coccygeal the lower 3 are commonly fused A typical vertebra consists of 1a rounded body anteriorly 2a vertebral arch posteriorly . The vertebrae surround the spinal cord and protect it from damage Nerves branch off the spinal cord and travel to the rest of the body allowing for communication between the brain and the body The brain can send a message down the spinal cord and ou What is an x-ray?.
