• Lacrimal bones


  Paired, thin bones the size and shape of fingernails. The smallest facial bones, located posterior and lateral to the nasal bones. Helps form the medial borders of the eye orbits.
• Coccyx


  Tail bone. Most inferior portion of the vertebral column. Triangular and formed by the fusion of four coccygeal vertebrae.
• Intervertebral disc


  Piece of fibrous cartilage located between the bodies of each vertebra from C2 to the sacrum. Acts as shock absorbers.
