How many pairs of the spinal nerve are located in human?

Humans have 31 pairs of spinal nerves that branch out from the spinal cord. These nerves carry messages between your brain and different body parts.

The 31 pairs include 8 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar, 5 sacral, and 1 coccygeal nerve pair. Each pair serves a specific body region.

While there are 33 vertebrae (spine bones), only 31 pairs of spinal nerves emerge from the spinal cord. This is the standard number in all humans.
