The sacrum is a triangular bone at the base of the spine. It is made up of five fused vertebrae and connects the spine to the pelvis. The sacrum has several functions, including:
✅Supporting the weight of the upper body. The sacrum is the keystone of the pelvis and helps to distribute the weight of the upper body evenly across the pelvis.
✅Transmitting weight from the spine to the pelvis. The sacrum is connected to the lumbar vertebrae above it and the iliac bones of the pelvis below it. This helps to transmit weight from the spine to the pelvis and legs.
✅Stabilizing the pelvis. The sacrum helps to stabilize the pelvis by connecting it to the lumbar vertebrae and iliac bones. This helps to prevent the pelvis from shifting or rotating during movement.
✅Protecting the internal organs. The sacrum helps to protect the internal organs, such as the bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs.
✅Providing a point of attachment for muscles. The sacrum is a major attachment point for muscles of the back, pelvis, and legs. These muscles help to move the spine, pelvis, and legs.
