Eleventh thoracic vertebrae (T11): At this level, the T11 begins to resemble the size and structure of a lumbar vertebrae. The articular facets for the heads of the ribs are large and primarily on the pedicles, which are thicker and stronger in T11 and T12, than in T1-T10.
Inferior to the fifth lumbar vertebra (L5) are the sacrum and coccyx bones. The large, triangular-shaped sacrum (os sacrum) is composed of five vertebrae (S1 - S5) that fuse during early adulthood (18 - 30 years). The smaller coccyx (os coccygis) articulates with S5 and is also known as the tailbone. It consists of three to five vertebrae (C1 - C5) that are also usually fused.
