How many vertebrae typically fuse during development to form the coccyx?
A
Seven
B
Two
C
Three to five
D
Six to eight
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that the coccyx, also known as the tailbone, is formed by the fusion of several small vertebrae during development.
Recall that the number of vertebrae that fuse to form the coccyx can vary between individuals, typically ranging from three to five.
Eliminate options that are outside the typical range of three to five vertebrae, such as 'Seven,' 'Two,' and 'Six to eight,' as these do not align with anatomical norms.
Focus on the correct range of vertebrae fusion (three to five) based on anatomical studies and developmental patterns.
Conclude that the coccyx is typically formed by the fusion of three to five vertebrae, which is the most accurate and widely accepted answer.
