There are 7 cervical vertebrae in the normal human spine.

Quick Scoop

  • The cervical vertebrae are the small bones in the neck region of the spine, labeled C1 through C7.
  • Together, they form the most mobile part of the vertebral column, allowing neck flexion, extension, rotation, and side-bending.
  • While the total number of vertebrae in humans is usually 33, the cervical count of 7 is very consistent and rarely varies.
