In federal board book there are total 33 vertebrae written but Sir Hamza told that we have 26 vertebrae which should be correct according to Mdcat ???

It's because sacrum and coccyx are fused and considered two bones

Ptb also says 33 (I think we count them 26 in total bones of adult but no. Is 33

There are 33 vertebra in human body but vetevral bones are 26 because last 5 out of 9 pelvic bones fuse to form 1 called sacrum and last 4 out of those 9 fuse to form other bone called cacyx so last 9 bones reduced to 2 now count from cerviacl 7 thoracic 12 lamber 5 and sacrum 1 cocyx 1 equal to 26

We have 33 vertebrae but when we grow up these fused up and become 26 5 fused to make sacrum 4 fused to make coccyx

no of vertebrae is 33 but no of bones in these vertebrae is 26 so there is a difference in statement no of vertebrae and no of bones in vertebrae
