The vertebral column, or spine, primarily consists of the individual vertebrae that make up the cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, and coccygeal regions. However, when referring specifically to "vertebrae," it typically denotes only the individual vertebrae excluding the sacrum and coccyx, which are fused structures. The rib bones are not part of the vertebral column; they are associated with the thoracic spine but are distinct elements of the ribcage. Thus, the vertebral column includes the vertebrae but does not include ribs, sacrum, or coccyx.
