A muscle in the pelvic region that connects to the coccyx and helps support pelvic organs.
From Greek 'kokkyx' (coccyx) plus the Latin masculine singular nominative ending '-us'. This anatomical name directly references the bone it's associated with.
The coccygeus muscle (also called the ischiococcygeus) is part of your pelvic floor muscles, which are way more important than people realize—they help with everything from bathroom control to athletic performance!
