Excerpt presented by Phila Chiropractic

The Sacrum is the largest vertebra; is curved with its 

convexity backward; is commonly made up of five fused 

segments ; has only rudimentary spinous and transverse 

processes except the first ; and shows sixteen openings, eight 

anterior and eight posterior, or four on either side of the 

median line in front and the same number and arrangement 

behind. These openings permit the exit of the anterior and 

posterior primary divisions of the sacral nerves separately. 

The Coccyx, usually composed of four fused segments, 

is a triangular bone which articulates with the Sacrum 

above and is free at its distal extremity. Its portion of the 

neural canal is open posteriorly and contains merely the 

thread-like termination of the cord membranes. It is fre- 

quently ankylosed to the Sacrum, sometimes in an abnormal 

position so as to impinge the single pair of coccygeal nerves.
