  2. Pelvis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelvis

    Anatomical drawing of the female pelvis. The pelvic girdle consists of the two hip bones. The hip bones are connected to each other anteriorly at the pubic symphysis, and posteriorly to the sacrum at the sacroiliac joints to form the pelvic ring. The ring is very stable and allows very little mobility, a prerequisite for transmitting loads from ...

  4. 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 ...

    The human pelvis exhibits greater sexual dimorphism than other bones, specifically in the size and shape of the pelvic cavity, ilia, greater sciatic notches, and the sub-pubic angle. The Phenice method is commonly used to determine the sex of an unidentified human skeleton by anthropologists with 96% to 100% accuracy in some populations.

    The true pelvis is the region inferior to the pelvic brim that is almost entirely surrounded by bone. [4] The pelvic inlet is the opening delineated by the pelvic brim. The widest dimension of the pelvic inlet is from left to right, that is, along the frontal plane. [4] The pelvic outlet is the margin of the true pelvis. It is bounded ...

  8. Pubis (bone) - Wikipedia

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

    In a propubic pelvis, however, the pubic bone extends forward towards the head of the animal, as can be seen in the typical saurischian pelvic structure pictured below. 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 ...

  9. Vaginal support structures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaginal_support_structures

    These bones are the pubis, ilium and ischium. The interior surface of these pelvic bones and their projections and contours are used as attachment sites for the fascia, muscles, tendons and ligaments that support the vagina. These bones are then fuse and attach to the sacrum behind the vagina and anteriorly at the pubic symphysis. [3]
