The Vertebral Column (also called the Spinal Column). It is formed by 26 irregular bones called vertebrae. The vertebral column has five major regions.7 cervical vertebrae, 12 thoracic vertebrae, 5 lumbar vertebrae, the sacrum and the coccyx.eatures of the Lumbar Vertebrae: L1-L5. Lumbar Vertebrae: L1 through L5 support the most weight. They have a sturdier construction (larger body and shorter porjections) The vertebral foramen is triangular shaped.
The lumbar vertebrae consist of five individual cylindrical bones that form the spine in the lower back. These vertebrae carry all of the upper bodyâs weight while providing flexibility and movement to the trunk region. They also protect the delicate spinal cord and nerves within their vertebral canal.he lumbar vertebrae are the some of the largest and heaviest vertebrae in the spine, second in size only to the sacrum. A cylinder of bone known as the vertebral body makes up the majority of the lumbar vertebraeâs mass and bears most of the bodyâs weight.
