sacrum and coccyx
The cervical vertebrae (C1-C7) are part of the spinal column and the spinal cord passes through them.
There isextension of brain in neck, thorax and abdomen in what is called as vertebral column. You have seven cervical vertebrae, twelve thoracic vertebrae and five lumber vertebrae fallowed by sacrum.In between them, you have inter-vertebral disc and various ligaments. Which keep them in position. In the hollow part of these vertebrae, there is spinal cord. It extends to the lower border of second lumber vertebrae. Down to it, there is bundle of nerves called as cauda-equina.
You tend to think about the sacrum. But it is not the case. You have the tail bone or the coccyx. It is the most inferior bone in the vertebral column.
The vetebrae of the lower back are called lumbar vertebrae. Lower than that, the vertebrae are fused together in the sacrum, and the lowest part of the spine is the tailbone or coccyx.
Unfortunately there is no photograph attached. However, it would be easy for anyone trained to tell which spinal column can be seen considering they would know the different characteristics that everyday people are unaware of.
Spinal cord is also called vertebral column in vertebrates (humans and mammals.) It is made up of 33 vertebrae. Starting from top most 7 vertebrae makes cervical column,then 12 vertebrae makes thoracic column, then 5 vertebrae makes lumbar column. In the last part of pelvis, the sacral column has 9 fused vertebrae and a tailed portion of the tapering spinal cord is called coccygeal vertebra
The part of the body that has vertebrae is the spine. The spinal column consists of 33 vertebrae which provides support to the body and protects the spinal cord.

The sacrum is both the mechanical weight bearing base of the spinal column and the fused central posterior section of the pelvic girdel. The is defined as, one of three bones (sacrum and two pelvic bones) that make up the pelvic ring; consists of five fused sacral vertebrae.

The bones in your spine are called vertebrae. They are stacked on top of each other and provide structure and support for the spinal column. The vertebrae also protect the delicate spinal cord that runs through the middle of the spine.

There are 33 vertebrae in the spinal cord of a human being. They are broadly categorized into 5 areas. They are called the cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacrum & coccyx vertebra. The upper 3 areas have a total of 24 vertebrae, which includes 7 cervical vertebrae, 12 thoracic vertebrae & 5 lumbar vertebrae. Sometimes the lumbar region, may have an additional vertebra, it does happen - but it is rare. 5 vertebrae are fused together to form the sacrum & 3 vertebrae form the end of the spinal column which is the coccyx.
The D4 and D5 vertebrae refer to the fourth and fifth vertebrae in the thoracic (mid-back) region of the spine. They are part of the 12 thoracic vertebrae that make up the middle segment of the spinal column. The vertebrae in this region provide structural support and protection for the spinal cord.
The spine (vertebral column, spinal column, backbone) is made up of small vertebrae stacked on top of each other.
