Function
The sacrum is located in the pelvic area. Through this positioning, the sacrum provides the connection between the spine and the hip bones. This leads to a transfer of the load to the legs. Nerves are also conducted through the foramina sacralia.
The coccyx, on the other hand, serves as a point of attachment for muscles and ligaments of the pelvis, pelvic floor and hip joint. Since the pelvis is open at the bottom, these muscles and ligaments hold the organs in their intended position.
