The Sacrum 



Aspect normal with thc^ following exception: 'i'here are distinct intervertebral 

 disks l)etween the different segments (5 segments) ; there are deep lateral incisures 

 in places where the lateral i)rocesseH unite, and the fourth and fifth segments are 

 entirely separated (in one ]iiece) from the upper three (four small spots of coossiti- 

 cation along the ])osterior border of the articiil.-ition are visilde). The articular 

 processes of the first and sei'ond sacral segments are similar in form to the lumbar, 

 and form (ii)en articulations. There is a l.irge foramen situated below the spinous 

 processes of the lirst and third segment, and a smaller beneath the second. Coccyx 



absent. Curvature medium.
