The human vertebral column consists of 33 individual vertebrae. However, in adults, the five sacral vertebrae fuse together to form the sacrum, and the four coccygeal vertebrae fuse to form the coccyx. Therefore, while there are 33 separate vertebrae in a baby, an adult has 26 bones in their vertebral column (7 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar, 1 sacrum, and 1 coccyx).
