The key difference between male and female sacrum is that the male sacrum is taller and narrower while female sacrum is shorter and wider.
The sacrum is one of the vertebrae of our vertebral column, which is at the bottom of the backbone. Accordingly, it locates between the L5 vertebra and coccyx vertebra in the vertebral column. Also, it is attached with right and left iliac bones of the hip bone and contributes to the formation of the pelvis. Structurally, the sacrum is a triangular-shape larger bone comprising of five fused segments/small bones. The sacrum is important for several major functions including weight-bearing, walking, standing and sitting, etc. Structurally, sacrum differs between male and females (sexual dimorphism). Therefore, this article intends to discuss the difference between male and female sacrum.
