Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Understand the anatomical terminology for the tailbone. The tailbone is a small, triangular bone located at the base of the vertebral column.
Step 2: Review the options provided: ischium, ilium, sacrum, and coccyx. These are all parts of the skeletal system, but they differ in location and function.
Step 3: Recall that the ischium and ilium are parts of the pelvic girdle, not the vertebral column. The sacrum is a larger, triangular bone above the tailbone, forming part of the pelvis.
Step 4: Learn that the coccyx is the anatomical term for the tailbone. It consists of fused vertebrae and serves as an attachment site for ligaments and muscles.
Step 5: Confirm that the correct answer is 'coccyx' based on its anatomical location and function as the tailbone.
