The ischium forms the lower and back part of the hip bone and is located below the ilium and behind the pubis. The ischium is the strongest of the three regions that form the hip bone. It is divisible into three portions: the body, the superior ramus, and the inferior ramus. The body forms approximately one-third of the acetabulum.
The same human pelvis, front imaged by X-ray (top), magnetic resonance imaging (middle), and 3-dimensional computed tomography (bottom). The pelvis (pl.: pelves or pelvises) is the lower part of an anatomical trunk, [1] between the abdomen and the thighs (sometimes also called pelvic region), together with its embedded skeleton [2] (sometimes also called bony pelvis or pelvic skeleton).
The ischium (/ ˈ ɪ s k i. ə m /; [1] pl.: ischia) is a paired bone forming the lower and back part of the hip bone. Situated below the ilium and behind the pubis, it is one of three regions whose fusion creates the coxal bone. The superior portion of this region forms approximately one-third of the 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 ...
The obturator foramen is situated inferior and somewhat anterior to the acetabulum.It is bounded by the pubis bone and the ischium: superiorly by the (grooved obturator surface) of the superior ramus of pubis, inferiorly by the ramus of ischium, and laterally by (the anterior edge of) the body of ischium (including by the margin of the acetabulum).

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 ...
The pelvis consists of two parts: anterior and posterior. Note that the posterior bones comprise the lower parts of the spine, where they are primarily counted to. Anterior bone (hip bone or pelvic girdle) (1) Ilium; Ischium; Pubis; Posterior bones (pelvic spine) Sacrum; Coccyx
