Usually 5, I say usually because the body has it's variances amongst individuals. but when looking at a population, 95% will have 5 fused segments. so if this is a test question just go ahead and answer 5
No - the pectoral girdle refers to the shoulders. The two bones that make up the pectoral girdle are the scapula and clavicle.
I believe what you are talking about is the sacrum? It's just below the spine in the pelvic area..
The tibia is not a part of the coxal bone. The coxal bone is also known as the hip bone and is made up of three fused bones: ilium, ischium, and pubis. The tibia is a separate bone located in the lower leg.
The question is not very specific. Most people consider the tail bone to be the sacrum. This is a wide, upside down triangular shaped bone formed by the fusion of 5 separate bones. Above that is the 5th lumbar vertebra. Some people refer to the coccyx as the tail bone. This is the absolute lowest segment of the spine. It is made of 3 small bones that fuse together in early childhood. Above the coccyx bone is the sacrum. From the skull moving down the spine you have 7 cervical vertebrae that make up the neck. Next you have 12 thoracic vertebrae that make up the middle back. The ribs are attached to this section. Next is 5 lumbar vertebrae, or your lower back. Next you have the sacrum, or 5 sacral bones in young children. Then you have the coccyx which in childhood is made up of 3 bones in young children before it fuses into one bone we call the coccyx.
Examples of bones in the axial skeleton include the skull, vertebral column, ribs, and sternum. These bones play a crucial role in protecting the central nervous system and supporting the body's structure.
56 bones make up a sacrum
No - the pectoral girdle refers to the shoulders. The two bones that make up the pectoral girdle are the scapula and clavicle.
One
The five bones fused in the lower back are called the sacrum. The sacrum is a triangular bone located between the two hip bones and forms the back part of the pelvis. It is made up of five separate vertebrae that fuse together during development.
8 bones make up the cuneiforms
I believe what you are talking about is the sacrum? It's just below the spine in the pelvic area..
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 illium, ischium (that make up the pelvis) and sacrum are usually what I think of when I hear hip bones. There is a very nice map of the human skeleton in the link below.

The hips are also known as the pelvic girdle. The pelvis is made up of the sacrum, the hip bones and the coccyx.
The adult human body has 206 bones. An infant may have from 300-350 bones at birth. Some of these fuse together as the infant grows. When some bones fuse and become one bone (most obvious examples are in the skull, sacrum and hip bones) the number of overall bones drops to the 206 bones that most adults have.
