Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -There are 6 to 23 caudal vertebrae in the dog. Cranially, the caudal vertebrae are similar to the lumbar elements; caudal to Cd6, they become elongated and lack a vertebral arch. Y-Shaped hemal arches are present ventrally on Cd4-Cd6 and protect the median coccygeal artery, which lies ventral to the vertebral centra.
Detailed explanation-2: -Vertebrae caudales [coccygeae] The caudal or coccygeal vertebrae reduce in size gradually, with a graduate simplification of their form (losing arches and processes, and with a simple cylindrical shape at the end).
