How many bones are fused together to make the tailbone?
The tailbone, or coccyx, is made up of 3 to 5 fused vertebrae.
In the human body what is the bone above the tailbone?
The question is not very specific. Most people consider the tail bone to be the sacrum. This is a wide, upside down triangular shaped bone formed by the fusion of 5 separate bones. Above that is the 5th lumbar vertebra. Some people refer to the coccyx as the tail bone. This is the absolute lowest segment of the spine. It is made of 3 small bones that fuse together in early childhood. Above the coccyx bone is the sacrum. From the skull moving down the spine you have 7 cervical vertebrae that make up the neck. Next you have 12 thoracic vertebrae that make up the middle back. The ribs are attached to this section. Next is 5 lumbar vertebrae, or your lower back. Next you have the sacrum, or 5 sacral bones in young children. Then you have the coccyx which in childhood is made up of 3 bones in young children before it fuses into one bone we call the coccyx.
Is it true that the pectoral girdle is formed by the articulation of the hip bones and the sacrum?
No, the pectoral girdle is formed by the clavicle and scapula bones. The hip bones and sacrum form the pelvic girdle.

What part of the spine is both the mechanical weight bearing base of the spinal column and the fused central posterior section of the pelvic girdel?
The sacrum is both the mechanical weight bearing base of the spinal column and the fused central posterior section of the pelvic girdel. The is defined as, one of three bones (sacrum and two pelvic bones) that make up the pelvic ring; consists of five fused sacral vertebrae.
What is the bony makeup of the sacrum?
56 bones make up a sacrum
What if the sacrum does not exist?
The sacrum is the posterior portion of the pelvis. The pelvis is similar to a shallow bowl and the sacrum is one of the three bones that make up the bowl. The sacrum is made of 5 fused vertebra. This lack of the sacrum is called Sacral Agenesis and is a birth defect. The improper development of the sacrum leads to other defects that include abnormalities of the urinary and lower digestive system as well as defects to the legs such as fused legs. The suspected cause of Sacral Agenesis is believed to be Folic Acid deficiency during fetal development.
NAME the 33 vertebra?

How are the vertebrae numbered in the human spine?
The vertebrae in the human spine are numbered based on their region from top to bottom. There are 7 cervical vertebrae (C1-C7), 12 thoracic vertebrae (T1-T12), 5 lumbar vertebrae (L1-L5), 5 sacral vertebrae (S1-S5 fused into one bone), and 4 coccygeal vertebrae (Co1-Co4 fused into one bone).
What are non mobile joints?

Is it true that the pectoral girdle is formed by the articulation of the hip bones and the sacrum?

In terms of fused vertebrae what is the glutious maxmus made of?
This question doesnt make sense. the gluteus maximus is a muscle in backside. It is however attached to the fused vertebrae of the sacrum which might be what you were getting at? It travels along to the gluteal tuberosity of the femur.
