Owls have 14 cervical vertebrae, the same as most other bird species.
Vertebrae are divided into sections: the atlas and axis account for the first cervical vertebrae, of which there are 7 in total; there are 12 thoracic vertebrae, 7 lumbar vertebrae, 1 sacrum (5 separate vertebrae in a baby), and 1 coccyx (4 separate vertebrae in a baby).
A rat skeleton typically has 32 vertebrae, including 7 cervical (neck) vertebrae, 13 thoracic (chest) vertebrae, 6 lumbar (lower back) vertebrae, 4 sacral (pelvic) vertebrae, and 2-3 caudal (tail) vertebrae. The vertebral column provides structural support and flexibility to the rat's body, allowing for movement and protection of the spinal cord. The number of vertebrae may vary slightly among individual rats due to genetic variations or developmental factors.
No, the thoracic vertebrae are superior to the lumbar vertebrae. The lumbar vertebrae are located lower down in the spine, below the thoracic vertebrae.
Vertebrates have vertebrae .
The five categories of vertebrae in the vertebral column are cervical (7 vertebrae in the neck), thoracic (12 vertebrae in the chest region), lumbar (5 vertebrae in the lower back), sacral (5 fused vertebrae forming the sacrum), and coccygeal (4 fused vertebrae forming the coccyx or tailbone).

Vertebrae.
The vertebrae nearest the abdominal region are the thoracic vertebrae.
The vertebrae in the neck region are called cervical vertebrae. There are seven cervical vertebrae labeled C1 to C7, with C1 being closest to the skull and C7 being closest to the thoracic vertebrae.
The vertebrae located in the lower back are known as the lumbar vertebrae. They are the five largest and strongest vertebrae in the spinal column, situated below the thoracic vertebrae and above the sacrum. The lumbar vertebrae support the majority of the body's weight and are responsible for the flexibility and movement of the lower back.
There are typically 33 vertebrae in the human spine: 7 cervical vertebrae, 12 thoracic vertebrae, 5 lumbar vertebrae, 5 sacral vertebrae (fused into the sacrum), and 4 coccygeal vertebrae (fused into the coccyx).
