tail bone
The tail bone, also known as the coccyx, is a small, triangular bone at the base of the spine in humans and other apes. It is composed of three to five fused vertebrae and is the remnant of a vestigial tail, hence the name 'tail bone'. It is an important attachment site for muscles and ligaments in the pelvic region. Despite its small size, the tail bone serves a valuable role in human locomotion and balance. It can cause discomfort or pain if injured or stressed.
