24. What is the coccyx?
The coccyx is the last part of the spinal column of man and consists
of four nodules of bone-like small vertebrae and corresponds to the
tail found in lower animals.
The bones are deeply buried in muscle tissue, but sometimes they jut
backwards and are. surrounded by a fold of skin so as to form an
actual tail.
The name coccyx was given by the Greek physician Galen (130-200
AD) and comes from the Greek word for cuckoo, as the bone more or
less resembles a cuckoo's bill.
