This is a tricky question as it is not clear which end of the spine we are referring to.

At the other end of the spine - the tail end the last bones are fused together to form the coccyx, the number may vary from 3 to 5. These bones are rudimanetary and are usually fused together.

Do you need all the bones in a humans body?
No. Many bones can be removed and never replaced, such as the ribs, pieces of the spine, etc. In places where bones have cartilage or tendons, such as in the spine, knees, etc., you can have the bones fused. By having the bone fused, the joint is immobile, but you get to keep your bone(s). Some bones can be removed, but have to be replaced by fake bones or metal parts. This is more common in car crash victims, where bones are crushed and cannot be repaired.
