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.

What are the bony landmarks f the abdominopelvic cavity?
The bony landmarks are: iliac crest (a good place to put you hands on), anterior superior iliac spine (that "bump" you can feel on either side of your stomach if it is flat), symphysis pubis (between the legs), sacral promontory which you can not feel but is above the leaf shaped tail bone called the sacrum. Plus the lower ribs and end of the sternum.
What is the landmark for establishing female pelvic dimensions?
The landmark for establishing female pelvic dimensions is the linea terminalis, which is a bony ridge that marks the division between the true and false pelvis. It is used as a reference point for measurements during pelvic assessments and obstetric evaluations.

The pelvic girdle sacrum and coccyx together form the?
The pelvis. The sacrum and coccyx are part of the human vertebral column, and when connected to the pelvic bones, they form the pelvic girdle, which is also known as the pelvis. This structure supports the spine and provides attachment points for muscles and ligaments.
What is the bony material beneath the enamel of the teeth?
The bony material beneath the enamel of the teeth is called dentin. It is similar in makeup to bone, but is more dense.
Are sharks bony?
No sharks are not 'bony'. The skeletal makeup of sharks is cartilage. Although cartilage is dense and can be bone-like it is significantly less dense than bone.
What structure does the coxal bones sacrum and coccyx form?

Does the pelvis have a joint if so what type of joint?
The sacroiliac joint or SI joint is the joint in the bony pelvis between the sacrum and the ilium of the pelvis, which are joined together by strong ligaments.
What helps you stand straight or bend?
Your spinal column, made up of 24 vertebrae plus the sacrum and the coccyx dorms a long, bony tube which protects the delicate nerves of your spinal cord.
How does the median sacral crest on the sacrum differ from the same structure on lumbar vertebrae?
The median sacral crest on the sacrum is a bony ridge formed by fusion of sacral vertebrae, indicating where the individual vertebrae once were. In contrast, the median sacral crest on lumbar vertebrae does not exist, as lumbar vertebrae do not fuse in the same way as sacral vertebrae.
Which part of the body is the SI joint located?
The SI joint, also known as the sacroiliac joint, is located in the pelvis. It connects the sacrum (the triangular bone at the base of the spine) to the ilium (the large, wing-shaped bone in the pelvis).
What are the bony landmarks f the abdominopelvic cavity?
The bony landmarks are: iliac crest (a good place to put you hands on), anterior superior iliac spine (that "bump" you can feel on either side of your stomach if it is flat), symphysis pubis (between the legs), sacral promontory which you can not feel but is above the leaf shaped tail bone called the sacrum. Plus the lower ribs and end of the sternum.
What girdle is formed by the articulation if the hip bones and the sacrum?
The sacroiliac joint or SI joint is the joint in the bony pelvis between the sacrum and the ilium of the pelvis, which are joined together by strong ligaments. In humans, the sacrum supports the spine and is supported in turn by an ilium on each side. The joint is a strong, weight bearing synovial joint with irregular elevations and depressions that produce interlocking of the two bones. The human body has two sacroiliac joints, one on the left and one on the right.
