Coccyx
The coccyx (pronounced kok-siks) (Latin: os coccygis), commonly referred to as the tailbone, is the final segment of the human
vertebral column, of four fused
vertebrae (the coccygeal vertebrae) below the
sacrum. It is attached to the sacrum in a fibrocartilaginous
joint, which permits limited movement between them. The term coccyx comes originally from the Greek language and means "cuckoo," referring to the shape of a
cuckoo's beak.
