How many sections is the spinal column broken in to?

The spinal column is divided into five main sections: the cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, and coccygeal regions. The cervical region consists of seven vertebrae (C1-C7), the thoracic region has twelve (T1-T12), the lumbar region contains five (L1-L5), the sacral region is made up of five fused vertebrae (S1-S5), and the coccygeal region typically has four fused vertebrae forming the coccyx. Each section serves different functions and supports various parts of the body.
