Correspondingly, what is the sacral?
The sacral region (sacrum) is at the bottom of the spine and lies between the fifth segment of the lumbar spine (L5) and the coccyx (tailbone). The sacrum is a triangular-shaped bone and consists of five segments (S1-S5) that are fused together.
Similarly, it is asked, what is the purpose of the sacrum?
