    You seem to have medical experience, Dopey. Why don't you ask more general medical questions, they are fun in my opinion!

    24 vertebrae >   You are born with 33. In the adult human body, 9 fused together to form the sacrum and coccyx.


    32 teeth


    12 ribs


    I will go with teeth.

    You made me laugh when you said "I'll go with teeth "- I suppose it is a silly question but it is actually the vertebrae you are right there are 33 - still are though in the Adult cervical 7, thoracic 12 lumbar 5,sacrum 5(fused)coccyx 4 (fused) usually fused to sacrum. So you were right should have said "I'll go with vertebrae".

    If they are fused does that count as individual?? Hmmmmm.........

    michmar118 - would you believe I was just going to bed 5am and I just knew someone if not chelleanne would come back with this - I began to get confused myself about fused - but I think they are still count as separate bones - I will check this out have checked it and they can be considered as separate - memory not so good this does not include the skull as part of the vertical column. I will try to think of some helpful ones many thanks.

    I'm back! Had to take a break.
    I got confused on my answer. I should have went with my first answer. I thought vertebrae, but changed my mind. Thanks for the correct answer.
