For the purpose of revealing of laws individual, age, bilateral variability and sexual dimorphism the sizes and the form of vertebrae studied preparations of vertebrae of 60 skeletons of adult people of 20–60 years. Have defined that the sizes of vertebrae and their parity change on an extent presacral department of a vertebral column which are characterised by certain laws. Frequency of occurrence of various combinations of indexes of vertebrae at different levels of a vertebral column, probably, provides optimum mechanicobiological characteristics of the vertebral column, as kinematic chain of motor segments.
