Corrected Factual Error

All mammals (which humans are) have 7 vertebrate in the neck area. This is commonly referred to as C 1-7. Most people consider the coccyx area (tailbone) as separate vertebrate but it can be considered as a single fused area too. I made a slight edit to reflect the fact concerning the Cervical area. Finally, my old college biology teacher really brought this point home when she said giraffes have 7 cervical vertebrate. WOW!Mary Ash 01:08, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
