"tail bone"; vestigial fused vertebrae:
A. atlas
B. axis
C. cervical-vertebra-typical
D. coccyx
E. lumbar vertebra

The Spine:
The spine can be observed looking at the posterior aspect of the body. This is a bony structure that is divided into sections from superior to inferior. The spine is very important because the spinal cord replies on this structure for protection. The spine also provides stability and support for the rest of the body.
