It is made up of 33 vertebrae. However it consists of 26 bones because five sacral vertebrae are fused to form one sacrum and four coccygeal vertebrae are fused to form one coccyx. ... Intervertebral discs are present between the bodies of adjacent vertebrae from second cervical vertebra to the sacrum.
