The smallest bone in the vertebral column is C1, also known as the Atlas. Unless you look down to Co4/5 in the coccyx, this whole region is smaller that alot of the individual vertebrae. True, however, the coccygeal bones are fused, and are typically thought of as a single bone.

Are the intestines dorsal to the vertebral column?
Generally speaking the intestines are either ventral (quadrapeds) or anterior (bipeds) to the vertebral column. "Dorsal" refers to something on the back of the animal or toward the back of the animal. You can feel the spinous processes of the vertebral column on most domestic mammals, such as a cat or even a human. There is no room between those bone bumps and the skin for the intestines to hide. "Ventral" and "Anterior" refer to something toward the belly of the animal. Intestines are close to the belly.
