ACervical lumbar thoracic sacral coccygeal
BCervical thoracic sacral lumbar coccygeal
CCervical sacral thoracic lumbar coccygeal
DCervical thoracic lumbar sacral coccygeal
Correct Answer

Solution

The vertebral column of the vertebrates is the modification of the notochord. The length of the human vertebral column is 71 cm in males and 61 in females.
In a foetus, there is only a single anterior concave curve, in adults, there are 4 curves like cervical, thoracic, lumbar and sacral.
Cervical curve is formed by 7 cervical vertebrae that start the vertebral column then we have the thoracic vertebrae which are formed by 12 thoracic vertebrae. Then the lumber which is formed by 5 lumbar vertebrae then there is sacrum which forms the sacral vertebrae and then there is coccyx.
So, the correct option is, 'Cervical thoracic lumbar sacral coccygeal'
