::''The spine is an intricate set of bones, muscles, nerves and discs.  It is divided into five regions:  cervical (neck bones); thoracic (in the chest); lumbar (low back); sacral (attached to the pelvis); and, coccygeal (the tail bone).  Each region has a number of vertebral bones.  There are usually seven cervical vertebral bones, twelve thoracic bones, and five lumbar vertebral bones.  The sacrum is a single, large, fused bone.  The coccyx is made of one or two small bones.
