  2. Acetabulum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetabulum

    The perforate acetabulum is a cup-shaped opening on each side of the pelvic girdle formed where the ischium, ilium, and pubis all meet, and into which the head of the femur inserts. [ 8 ] [ 9 ] The orientation and position of the acetabulum is one of the main morphological traits that caused dinosaurs to walk in an upright posture with their ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilium_(bone)

    The other two hip bones, the ischium and the pubis, extend ventrally down from the ilium towards the belly of the animal. The acetabulum, which can be thought of as a "hip-socket", is an opening on each side of the pelvic girdle formed where the ischium, ilium, and pubis all meet, and into which the head of the femur inserts. The orientation ...

    In the majority of dinosaurs, the ischium extends down from the ilium and towards the tail of the animal. The acetabulum, which can be thought of as a "hip-socket", is a cup-shaped opening on each side of the pelvic girdle formed where the ischium, ilium, and pubis all meet, and into which the head of the femur inserts.

    Pelvic fracture. A pelvic fracture is a break of the bony structure of the pelvis. [1] This includes any break of the sacrum, hip bones (ischium, pubis, ilium), or tailbone.

    The pelvis, also known as the pelvic girdle, is the collective term for bones of the hip, which connect the vertebral column to the hindlimb. The pelvis includes the ilium, pubis, and ischium. Its inner surface has a strong connection to sacral ribs of the sacral vertebrae, which may be fused into a sacrum. [3] Pes of Velocisaurus pes

  7. Hip bone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip_bone

    FMA. 16580 16585, 16580. Anatomical terms of bone. [edit on Wikidata] The hip bone (os coxae, innominate bone, pelvic bone[1][2] or coxal bone) is a large flat bone, constricted in the center and expanded above and below. In some vertebrates (including humans before puberty) it is composed of three parts: the ilium, ischium, and the pubis.

  8. Pubis (bone) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pubis_(bone)

    In vertebrates, the pubis or pubic bone (Latin: os pubis) forms the lower and anterior part of each side of the hip bone. The pubis is the most forward-facing (ventral and anterior) of the three bones that make up the hip bone. The left and right pubic bones are each made up of three sections; a superior ramus, an inferior ramus, and a body.

  9. Pubic symphysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pubic_symphysis

    The pubic symphysis (pl.: symphyses) is a secondary cartilaginous joint between the left and right superior rami of the pubis of the hip bones. It is in front of and below the urinary bladder. In males, the suspensory ligament of the penis attaches to the pubic symphysis. In females, the pubic symphysis is attached to the suspensory ligament of ...
