Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the location of the vertebral column in the human body, which extends from the base of the skull to the pelvis.
Understand that the vertebral column is divided into several regions: cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, and coccygeal.
Recognize that the inferior end of the vertebral column refers to the lowest part of this structure.
Recall that the coccyx, also known as the tailbone, is located at the very bottom of the vertebral column.
Differentiate between the sacrum and coccyx: the sacrum is a triangular bone above the coccyx, while the coccyx is the terminal segment of the vertebral column.
