What is the landmark for establishing female pelvic dimensions?
Sacrum
Where in the back is your sacrum located?
The sacrum is located in the lower part of the back, between the two pelvic bones. It is a triangular-shaped bone situated at the base of the spine, just above the tailbone (coccyx).
What is the medial ridge along the posterior surface of the sacrum?
sacral crest
Describe the location and bony makeup of the sacrum?
The Sacrum is a triangular bone formed by the union, and ossification of the five vestigial vertebrae, classified as S1-S5. The sacrum is located in the posterior portion of the pelvic cavity between the two hip bones (also called Ilium--together making up the sacroiliac joints). The female sacrum is shorter,wider, and more curved between th S2 and S3 segments than the male sacrum, due in part to the birth canal, and a slightly different center of gravity. The sacrum fuses around the age of five years old. The triangular shape is responsible for distributing the weight of the upper body onto each leg. When walking, the surfaces of the sacrum and the ilium move in a "circle eight" pattern known as nutation, that helps the human body to walk more smoothly, decreasing wear and tear throughout the entire spinal column. hope this information will help you. thanks.
