IT'S NOT A SINGULAR BONE!! Vertebras are Irregular bones. Same as the Sacrum and Coccyx
Compression.
vertebral column
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.
No, the coccyx is an irregular bone. Improvement - this answer is wrong for the question. The coxa is the hip bone (composed of ilium, ischium, and pubis areas). It is considered a flat bone. The coccyx is last portion of the vertebral column composed of 4 or so vertebrae which become fused to be considered as one bone. Vertebrae are, indeed, irregular bones.
The major bones of the axial skeleton include the skull, the vertebral column, the ribcage, and the sternum.
