  2. Pelvis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelvis

    The bony pelvis (pelvic skeleton) is the part of the skeleton embedded in the pelvic region of the trunk. It is subdivided into the pelvic girdle and the pelvic spine. The pelvic girdle is composed of the appendicular hip bones ( ilium , ischium , and pubis ) oriented in a ring, and connects the pelvic region of the spine to the lower limbs.

  3. Hip bone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip_bone

    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 .

  4. Pubis (bone) - Wikipedia

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

    The sacrum and pelvic bone, with parts labelled. The pubic bone consists of the body and superior pubic ramus (4), and the inferior pubic ramus (3), which join at the pubic symphysis . The gap between them is the obturator foramen .

    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

  6. Pelvic cavity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelvic_cavity

    The pelvic cavity is a body cavity that is bounded by the bones of the pelvis. Its oblique roof is the pelvic inlet (the superior opening of the pelvis). Its lower boundary is the pelvic floor. The pelvic cavity primarily contains the reproductive organs, urinary bladder, distal ureters, proximal urethra, terminal sigmoid colon, rectum, and ...

  7. Acetabulum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetabulum

    There are three bones of the os coxae (hip bone) that come together to form the acetabulum. Contributing a little more than two-fifths of the structure is the ischium, which provides lower and side boundaries to the acetabulum. The ilium forms the upper boundary, providing a little less than two-fifths of the structure of the acetabulum.

  8. Ilium (bone) - Wikipedia

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

    The body (Latin: corpus) forms less than two-fifths of the acetabulum; and also forms part of the acetabular fossa. The internal surface of the body is part of the wall of the lesser pelvis and gives origin to some fibers of the obturator internus. The wing (Latin: ala) is the large expanded portion which bounds the greater pelvis laterally. It ...

  9. Sacrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacrum

    The central part is curved outward toward the posterior, allowing greater room for the pelvic cavity. In all other quadrupedal vertebrates, the pelvic vertebrae undergo a similar developmental process to form a sacrum in the adult, even while the bony tail (caudal) vertebrae remain unfused. The number of sacral vertebrae varies slightly.
