yes
No. There are no intervertebral discs in the Sacrum. The Sacrum is a fusion between 5 vertebrae and this the same with the Coccyx (fusion of 3). The final intervertebral disc is between L5 and the superior surface of the Sacrum.
The superior articular process of the sacrum articulates with the inferior articular process of the last lumbar vertebra (L5) to form the lumbosacral joint.
The surface of the superior articular will work right above the inferior surface in a vertebra. This is not true in the atlas.
It is the the most superior (first) cervical vertebra of the spine.
It articulates with each vertebra. Plus the occipital bone of the skull and the 12 pairs of ribs.
Atlas, sacral, and urostyle vertebrae are considered typical because of their typical features for their respective regions of the spine. For example, the atlas is the first cervical vertebra that supports the skull, the sacral vertebrae fuse to form the sacrum and provide stability to the pelvis, and the urostyle is a specialized vertebra found in amphibians that supports the pelvis and hindlimbs.
The two most superior vertebrae are CERVICAL vertebrae 1 and 2 (C1 and C2). They are also known as the Atlas (C1) and Axis (C2). These two vertebra join together to form the atlantoaxial joint, which helps with the movement of the neck. A structure on the axis called the dens (odontoid process) fits through a foramen (hole) in the atlas to join them together.

the pelvic girdle ( coxae) sacrum and coccyx together form the ......................
Annum Sacrum was created in 1899.
The sacrum is the composite bone that articulates with the hip bone laterally at the sacroiliac joint. The sacrum is a large, triangular bone at the base of the spine formed from the fusion of several vertebrae.
The inferior end of the sacrum is composed of the coccyx, which is a small triangular bone formed by the fusion of 3-5 vertebrae. The coccyx serves as an attachment site for ligaments and muscles and helps support the pelvis when sitting.
