Coccyx



I love this animation because it includes a view of what it looks like "starring down the barrel"so to speak. Observe how the coccyx or the "tail bone" moves out of the way for the baby. Imagine how hard this is take place when women are laboring and pushing in the semi-reclining position.
This diagram is a front view of the pelvis. You can see the coccyx there in the middle.
