i believe there's 24 bones in the human spinal cord. UPDATED ANSWER by ConnieU: The spine has 33 bones. These are called vertebrea and they surround the spinal cord. i forgot to include sacrum and coccyx
In a child:
7 Cervical, 12 Thoracic, 5 Lumber, 5 Sacral and 3-5 Coccygeal vertebrae.... therefore 32-34
In an adult, the sacral and coccygeal vertebrae are fused to form the sacrum and coccyx, therefore adults have:
7 Cervical, 12 Thoracic, 5 Lumbar vertebrae.... therefore 24, plus a sacrum and coccyx
