How many bones are typically found in the cervical spine?

The correct answer is: 7

The cervical spine consists of seven vertebrae, which are labeled C1 through C7. This part of the spine supports the head and allows for a wide range of motion including flexion, extension, and rotation. Each cervical vertebra has distinct features that allow for the passage of nerves and support various functions such as protecting the spinal cord. The seven vertebrae also play a crucial role in maintaining the overall stability and movement of the neck region. The other options suggest incorrect numbers of vertebrae and do not align with human anatomy, emphasizing the importance of understanding the structure of the cervical spine in medical and emergency situations.
