15
Q

Which longitudinal crest is located just lateral to the median sacral crest, formed by fused articular processes of S1-5?

A

Intermediate sacral crest

16
Q

WHere does the lateral sacral crest begin and end?

A

Sacral tubercle (transverse tubercle S1) and tuberosity (transverse tubercle S2)

ends at inferior lateral sacral angle

20
