3. acetabulum (fusion of all three bones)
What are the characteristics of the Ilium?
1. Articulates with sacrum (lateral of sacrum articulates with medial ilium)
2. Ligaments attach to the vertebral column (sacrospinous ligament)
3. Body
4. Ala (articulate with wings of the sacrum)
-Fossa (home of the muscle)
-Greater Sciatic Notch (sciatic nerves exits the pelvis)
-Gluteal Lines
5. Crest (hipbone)
-Ant. Sup. Iliac Spine = “hip bone”
What is the acetabulum?
the ball and socket joint of the hip; the ilium, ischium, and pubis all fused in the acetabulum; articulate with head of femur
What are the difference between male and female pelvis?
women
-ala sticks out farther; hips wider
-pelvic inlet is wider
-broader pubic angle
-release a hormone called relaxin to increase the size of the pelvic inlet and outlet
what are the characteristics of ishium?
1. Posterior and inferior portion of pelvic girdle
2. L shaped bone
what are the characteristics of pubis?
1. Anterior region of the pelvic girdle
2. L shaped bone
3. Body + 2 rami
-Superior Ramus & Inferior ramus
What is pubic symphysis?
when you put two halves of the pelvic together to form pubis and contain fibrocartilaginous joint that doesn't move
What is pubic tubercle?
anterior to pubic symphysis; running from anterior and superior iliac spine of the pubic tubercle has the major ligament calledcontain
what makes up the obturator foramen?
ishcium and pubis
What are the characteristics of femur?
Thigh Bone

2. Head articulates with acetabulum
what are the major landmarks of femur?
1. Trochanters
2. Intertrochanteric Crest
3. Gluteal Tuberosity
4. Condyles
What are the major landmarks of ishium?

2. Ramus
What are the major landmarks of pubis?
-Pubic symphysis
-Pubic tubercle
-Obturator foramen
What is a trochanter?
part of femur; have greater and lesser trochanter; large attachment for muscles; greater trochanter sits laterally
What are the characteristics of the tibia?
1. Medial bone of lower leg
2. Weight bearing bone
3. Proximal portion articulates with the condyles of femur
What are the major landmarks of tibia?
1. Condyles & intercondylar eiminence
2. Tibial tuberosity
3. Medial malleolus
What is intercondylar eminance?
it helps deepen the joints so that there are stability on the lateral/medial motion
What is tibial tuberosity?
the bump you feel right below your knee; it's the major attachment point for quadricep muscles
What is medial malleolus?
the bump on your ankle bone
what are the characteristics of the fibula?

What are the characteristics of articulation?
1. Only place where movement can occur
2. Where two bones meet
Articulations are based on 2 things. What are they?
1. Based on movement
2. Based on connections
what are the three types of classification of movement?
1. Immovable
-synarthroses - together joint (fused)
2. Slightly Moveable
amphiarthrosis
3. Freely Moveable (elbow, shoulder, clavicle)
-diarthrosis
-synovial joints
What are synarthroses?
Often bony, fibrous or cartilaginous joints; immovable joints
What are the types synarthroses?

1. Syndesmosis (bottoms attach to 2 bones, tibia-fibula)
2. Symphysis
-pubic symphysis
-between vertebra
-shoulder joint
What are diarthroses?
freely moveable joints; less stable; Permit wide range of motion; Bones separated by fluid filled cavity; Most common joints

2. Nutrient distribution (cartilage =avascular)
3. Shock absorption
What are the factors that strength and stabilize a joint?
1. Collagen fibers of joint capsule (dense regular line up to stand force)
-Accessory ligaments (inside or outside cavity)
2. Shape of articulating surfaces
3. Other bones, skeletal muscles, or fat pads limit motion
4. Tension in the muscle tendons (#1 stabilizing force) surrounding joint
