How many cervical vertebrae are there in a person?

According to human physiological analysis, we can know that there are seven cervical vertebrae in total. The cervical vertebrae are very important to human health. In recent years, with the changes in some behavioral habits in people's lives and work, the incidence of cervical spondylosis is also relatively high. This is related to the usual desk work, playing games and watching mobile phones. When cervical spondylosis occurs, we must emphasize care and timely treatment.

3. Spinal cord type: Vertebral artery type: headache, dizziness, tinnitus, deafness, blurred vision, postural cataplexy, symptoms aggravated by cervical scoliosis and extension, CT shows asymmetric sizes of left and right transverse foramina, one side is relatively narrow, the distance between transverse processes is reduced, and the uncovertebral joint is hyperplastic;

4. Sympathetic nervous system type: eyelid weakness, blurred vision, headache, dizziness, occipital and cervical pain. CT scan shows cervical vertebral hyperplasia, narrowing of the intervertebral foramen, varying degrees of dislocation of the cervical vertebrae, and compression of the vertebral artery.
