Answer Details
The correct order of the vertebrae along the spinal column is "Atlas → axis → cervical → thoracic → lumbar → sacral". The atlas is the first cervical vertebra, followed by the axis which is the second cervical vertebra. After that, there are several cervical vertebrae, followed by thoracic, lumbar, and sacral vertebrae. The sacrum is formed by the fusion of five vertebrae and is followed by the coccyx, which is formed by the fusion of three to five small vertebrae.
