The primary difference between the male and female coccyx lies in its curvature and how it relates to the sacrum, particularly concerning childbirth.
In females, the coccyx tends to be straighter or curves outward slightly to provide more space during childbirth. In males, the coccyx curves more inward, towards the front of the body.
| Feature | Male Coccyx | Female Coccyx |
|---|---|---|
| Curvature | More curved inward towards the front. | Straighter or curves slightly outward. |
| Relationship to Childbirth | No impact. | Allows more space during childbirth. |
In summary, the coccyx in females is positioned to accommodate childbirth, while the male coccyx has a more pronounced inward curve.
