What is the correct order of the regions of the spinal column, from superior to inferior?

This choice incorrectly reverses the lumbar and thoracic regions, placing the lower-back region above the mid-back region.

This choice lists the regions in completely reversed order, running inferior to superior (coccyx to cervical) rather than the correct superior-to-inferior direction.

This choice incorrectly reverses the sacral and coccyx regions at the base of the spine, placing the coccyx above the sacrum when the sacrum is actually superior to the coccyx.

The correct superior-to-inferior sequence of the spinal column is cervical (7 vertebrae, C1-C7, forming the neck), thoracic (12 vertebrae, T1-T12, forming the mid-back and attaching to ribs), lumbar (5 vertebrae, L1-L5, forming the lower back), sacrum (5 fused vertebrae forming a triangular bone at the base of the spine), and coccyx (3-5 fused vertebrae forming the tailbone). This sequence is a foundational concept in anatomy and kinesiology.
