The vertebrae at the end of the spine are fused to form the coccyx (tailbone).
There are 33 vertebrae in the spinal cord of a human being. They are broadly categorized into 5 areas. They are called the cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacrum & coccyx vertebra. The upper 3 areas have a total of 24 vertebrae, which includes 7 cervical vertebrae, 12 thoracic vertebrae & 5 lumbar vertebrae. Sometimes the lumbar region, may have an additional vertebra, it does happen - but it is rare. 5 vertebrae are fused together to form the sacrum & 3 vertebrae form the end of the spinal column which is the coccyx.

Cervical vertebrae possess transverse foramina to allow for the vertebral arteries to pass through on their way to the foramen magnum to end in thecircle of Willis.

Because the neck is relatively fragile compared with the rest of the spine ... and it has that big lump at the top end.
The cervical bones (1-5) run from the base of the skull to the bottom of the neck, roughly. The thoracic vertebrae (1-12) run from the end of the cervical spine to the lumbar spine. The lumbar vertebrae (1-5) run from the end of the thoracic spine to the tailbone.
The "n" at the end of the word "column" is silent.
