Number of bones of spinal column?
There are 7 cervical vertebrae, 12 thoracic vertebrae, 5 lumbar vertebrae, the 5 sacral vertebrae fused to form the sacrum, and the 4 coccygeal vertebrae fused to form the coccyx. Depending on the way you count the number of bones, it comes to as few as 26 bones (just the fused sacrum and fused coccyx are counted) or 33 bones (if you count each bone that is fused).

What if the sacrum does not exist?
The sacrum is the posterior portion of the pelvis. The pelvis is similar to a shallow bowl and the sacrum is one of the three bones that make up the bowl. The sacrum is made of 5 fused vertebra. This lack of the sacrum is called Sacral Agenesis and is a birth defect. The improper development of the sacrum leads to other defects that include abnormalities of the urinary and lower digestive system as well as defects to the legs such as fused legs. The suspected cause of Sacral Agenesis is believed to be Folic Acid deficiency during fetal development.

The vertebral column usually consists of 33 vertebrae: 24presacral vertebrae (7 cervical, 12 thoracic, and 5 lumbar) followed by the sacrum (5 fused sacral vertebrae) and the coccyx (4 frequently fused coccygeal vertebrae).
