What are the small bones called that make up the spine?
This is a tricky question as it is not clear which end of the spine we are referring to. At the head end there is a bone or vertebra upon which the head is resting this is known as the atlas, it does not have a body and its centrum fuses with the axis to provide a pivot for the head to turn on. 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.
In the human body what is the bone above the tailbone?
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.
What are the bones that make up your backbone called?
The human backbone is also called the spine, and it consists of a vertebral column that has many bones.

So that makes a total of 33 bones.Read more: How_many_bones_make_up_the_human_backbone
How many bones are in an 8-year-old child?
Approximately 250. Some of the 300 bones a person is born with (such as the individual plates that make up the skull, and those at the base of the spine) have already fused together, while several others (like the multiple small bones in each wrist and ankle) won't finish doing so until around puberty. At the end of adolescence, the last of the growth plates in the arms and legs will have fused and stopped growing, leaving the average adult with around 206 bones.
How many vertebrae make up the cervical?
