Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cervical Spine-7 vertebrae. Thoracic Spine-12 vertebrae. Lumbar Spine-5 vertebrae. Sacral Spine-5 fused vertebrae.

Detailed explanation-2: -Five (or in some cases, six) vertebrae make up the lumbar spine, which provides support for much of the upper body and is rather flexible. Lumbar vertebrae are larger than the thoracic or cervical vertebrae, as they have to bear the weight of the spine and the head.

Detailed explanation-3: -Most people have 5 lumbar levels (L1-L5), although it is not unusual to have 6. Each lumbar spinal level is numbered from top to bottom-L1 through L5, or L6. The low back vertebral bodies are larger, thicker block-like structures of dense bone. From the front (or anterior), the vertebral body appears rounded.
