How many vertebrae are in the thoracic spine?

Made up of 12 vertebrae, the thoracic spine is designed for stability and plays an integral role in holding the body upright and protecting vital organs in the chest. The thoracic spine differs from the cervical and lumbar spine in a number of ways, most notably, its limited flexibility. The rib cage is attached to each level of the thoracic spine, providing rigidity and decreasing range of motion. Compared to the higher-mobile cervical and lumbar regions of the spine, problems like disc herniation are actually not as common in the thoracic spine.
