It stretches from median sacral crest [3] and the free margin of the sacral hiatus [1] to the dorsal surface of the coccyx. [1] The lateral sacrococcygeal ligaments run from the lower lateral angles of the sacrum to the transverse processes of the first coccygeal vertebra to complete the foramina for the last sacral nerve. [1]
[3] [4] It is inserted by its base into the margin of the coccyx and into the side of the lowest piece of the sacrum. [3] [4] In combination with the levator ani, it forms the pelvic diaphragm. [5] The pudendal nerve runs between the coccygeus muscle and the piriformis muscle, superficial to the coccygeus muscle. [6]

The sacrum (pl.: sacra or sacrums [1]), in human anatomy, is a large, triangular bone at the base of the spine that forms by the fusing of the sacral vertebrae (S1–S5) between ages 18 and 30. [2] The sacrum situates at the upper, back part of the pelvic cavity, between the two wings of the pelvis. It forms joints with four other bones.
The muscle which can 'cancel' or to some degree reverse the action of the muscle. Muscle synergies are noted in parentheses when relevant. O (Occurrences) Number of times that the named muscle row occurs in a standard human body. Here it may also be denoted when a given muscles only occurs in a male or a female body.
In the human body, the lateral sacrococcygeal ligament is a bilaterally paired ligament extending between the transverse process coccyx, and the inferolateral angle of the sacrum. [1] The ligament forms a foramen for [2] [1] an anterior ramus [1] of the fifth sacral nerve (S5). [2] [1] The ligament may become ossified. [1]
The deep dorsal sacrococcygeal ligament (ligamentum sacrococcygeum posterius profundum) is a continuation of the posterior longitudinal ligament. [1] A flat band arising inside the sacral canal, posteriorly at the orifice of the fifth sacral segment, it descends to the dorsal surface of the coccyx under its longer fellow described below.
The anal triangle can be defined either by its vertices or its sides.. Vertices. one vertex at the coccyx bone; the two ischial tuberosities of the pelvic bone; Sides. perineal membrane (posterior border of perineal membrane forms anterior border of anal triangle)
