IT'S NOT A SINGULAR BONE!! Vertebras are Irregular bones. Same as the Sacrum and Coccyx
The two main groups of bones are axial bones (such as the skull, vertebral column, and rib cage) which form the body's central axis, and appendicular bones (such as the limbs and the shoulder and pelvic girdles) which attach to the axial skeleton and allow for movement.
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.
Short bone: Carpal bones in the wrist Long bone: Femur in the leg Irregular bone: Sternum in the chest Flat bone: Cranium in the skull
Tarsals and carpals are short bones. Metacarpals, metatarsals and phalanges are long bones.
The dorsal cavity is contained in the skull and vertebral column. The brain is located within the skull, and the spinal cord is located within the vertebral column. The brain and spinal cord are both encased in bone to protect them from injury.

No, the pubic bone is not part of the vertebral column. It is part of the pelvic bones, which are located below the vertebral column and contribute to the structure of the pelvis.

its not a single bone but a series of bones called the vertebral column
People, particularly post menopausal women, suffer from compression fractures in the vertebral column as a result of osteoporsis (a reduction in bone mineral density).
Vetabrae are the building bones of the spinal column.
Skull at one end, tail bone at the other.
