Sacrum
The sacrum is a large, triangular bone at the base of the
spine and at the upper and back part of the
pelvic cavity, where it is inserted like a wedge between the two
hip bones. Its upper part connects with the last
lumbar vertebra, and bottom part with the
coccyx (tailbone). It is curved upon itself and placed obliquely (that is, tilted forward). It is kyphotic - that is, concave facing forwards. The base projects forward as the
sacral promontory internally, and articulates with the last lumbar vertebra to form the prominent
sacrovertebral angle. The central part is curved outward towards the
posterior, allowing greater room for the
pelvic cavity.
