vertebra
vertebra Any of the bones that make up the
vertebral column. In mammals each vertebra typically consists of a main body, or
centrum, from which arises a
neural arch through which the spinal cord passes, and
transverse processes projecting from the side. There are five groups of vertebrae, specialized for various functions and varying in number with the species. In humans, for example, there are 7
cervical vertebrae, 12
thoracic vertebrae, 5
lumbar vertebrae, 5 fused
sacral vertebrae, and 5 fused
caudal vertebrae (forming the
coccyx).
