Which of the following is NOT a standard section of the vertebral column?

The vertebral column is divided into regional sections along the spine: cervical (neck), thoracic (mid back with ribs), and lumbar (lower back), with the sacral and coccygeal regions formed by fused bones at the base. Cranial refers to the skull, not the vertebrae, so it is not a standard section of the spine. That’s why cranial is the correct choice for what isn’t a standard section. The other three are standard spine regions.
