Is the sacrum considered a vertebral body?
Answer:
Yes, It is part of the vertebrae but the actual bones surrounding the spinal cord consists of 24 bones; 7 cervical vertebrae, 12 thoracic vertebrae, and 5 lumbar vertebrae. The whole human vertebrae consists of 33 vertebrae because the sacrum and coccyx are composed of fused bones.
