and 5 lumbar vertebrae (in the small of the back)
and 6 sacral vertebrae ( the back of your hips, and in adults are normally fused into 1 bony structure)
and 3 to 5 coccyx bones (tail bones)
Say, between 31 and 33 vertebrae, total.

Commonly, the coccyx is formed by two or three segments. Many people have a sixth lumbar vertebra which is usually a part of the sacrum which did not fuse to the other segments of the sacrum during development. Sometimes a vertebra, usually a thoracic vertebra, fully develops on only one side, so one might say there are 12 vertebrae on one side, and 11 on the other. That is called a hemivertebra. Sometimes 2 vertebrae are fused together, making one bone instead of two.
