coccyx in dogs
A collection of caudal vertebrae in the coccygeal region that are fused and part of the bony pelvis. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.
What the coccyx is
A collection of caudal vertebrae in the coccygeal region that are fused and part of the bony pelvis. The atlas records it as a bone at the organ scale in the dog.
Where the coccyx is
It sits in the back, within the skeletal system. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.
What the coccyx connects to
The atlas records 4 typed relationships for it, across 2 kinds of connection. part of bony pelvis.
Supply and innervation
This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the coccyx. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.
Also called
Also recorded as coccygeal skeleton, coccygeal vertebrae I-IV, coccyx [coccygeal vertebrae I-IV], coccyx [vertebrae coccygeae I-IV], fused caudal vertebrae and fused caudal vertebral column, and 2 more. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions
Where is the coccyx?
It sits in the back, within the skeletal system. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.
What does the coccyx connect to?
Part of: bony pelvis.
Is the coccyx the same in other species?
This page describes the dog. The human record of the same structure sits beside it on /compare, over one shared model rather than two atlases built separately.
