  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 ...

  3. Lunate surface of acetabulum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunate_surface_of_acetabulum

    The lunate surface of acetabulum is the articular surface of the acetabulum which makes contact with the femoral head as part of the hip joint. It forms an incomplete ring that is deficient inferiorly - opposite the acetabular notch .

  4. Hip bone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip_bone

    Acetabulum (of the hip joint), 7. Obturator foramen, 8. Coccyx/tailbone (os coccygis) Dotted. Linea terminalis of the pelvic brim. The hip bone is formed by three parts: the ilium, ischium, and pubis. At birth, these three components are separated by hyaline cartilage. They join each other in a Y-shaped portion of cartilage in the acetabulum.

  5. Ischium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ischium

    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. The orientation and position of the acetabulum is one of the main morphological traits that caused dinosaurs to walk in an upright ...

  6. Pubis (bone) - Wikipedia

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

    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 legs directly underneath their bodies. [10] The prepubic process is a bony extension of the pubis that extends forward from the hip socket and toward the front of the animal. This adaptation is ...

  7. Acetabulum (morphology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetabulum_(morphology)

    Acetabulum / æ s ɪ ˈ t æ b j ʊ l ə m / (pl.: acetabula) in invertebrate zoology is a saucer-shaped organ of attachment in some annelid worms (like leech) and flatworms. It is a specialised sucker for parasitic adaptation in trematodes by which the worms are able to attach on the host . [ 1 ]

  8. Glossary of dinosaur anatomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_dinosaur_anatomy

    In dinosaurs, the acetabulum (plural: acetabula) or hip socket is an opening in the pelvis formed by the ilium, pubis, and ischium that is visible in lateral and medial views. It accommodates the head of the femur, forming the hip joint. Most tetrapods show a closed acetabulum, in which the socket is completely filled with bone, forming a ...

  9. Capsule of hip joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capsule_of_hip_joint

    The capsule of hip joint, articular capsule, or capsular ligament is strong and dense attachment of the hip joint.. Anterosuperiorly, it is attached to the margin of the acetabulum 5 to 6 mm. beyond the labrum behind; but in front, it is attached to the outer margin of the labrum, and, opposite to the notch where the margin of the cavity is deficient, it is connected to the transverse ligament ...
