Front 17

Pubis

Back 17

Is inferior and anterior to the acetabulum

Front 18

Ilium

Back 18

Consists body & ala

The body of the ileum is the more inferior portion near the acetabulum and includes the superior two fifths of the acetabulum. the ala is the thin and flared superior part of the ilium

Front 19

Ilium crest

Back 19

Is the superior margin of the ALA it extends from the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) to the posterior superior iliac spine (PSIS)

Front 20

Ischium

Back 20

Is a part of the hip bone that lies inferior and posterior to the acetabulum

Front 21

Ischium

Back 21

The superior portion of the body of the ischium makes up the posteroinferior two fifths of the acetabulum

Front 22

Ischia tuberosity

Back 22

The rounded roughened area near the junction of the lower body and the inferior Rami

Front 23

Ramus

Back 23

Projecting anteriorly from the ischial tuberosity is the

Front 24

Ischial spine

Back 24

Posterior to the acetabulum is a bony projection

Front 25

Greater sciatic notch

Back 25

Directly superior to the ischial spine is a deep notch

Front 26

Lesser sciatic notch

Back 26

Inferior to the ischial spine is a smaller notch

Front 27

Pubis

Back 27

The body of the pubis is anterior and inferior to the acetabulum and includes the anteroinferior one fifth of the acetabulum

Front 28

Superior ramus

Back 28

Is extending andteriorly and medially from the body of each pubis

Front 29

Symphysis pubis

Back 29

The to superior Rami meet in the midline to form the amphiarthrodial joint called

Front 30

Each inferior ramus

Back 30

Passes down and posterior from the symphysis pubis to join the ramus of the respective ischium

Front 31

The obturator foramen

Back 31

Is a large opening formed by the Ramos and body of each ischium and by the pubis. The obturator foramen is the larger foramen in human skeletal system.

Front 32

Female pelvis

Back 32

Is wider with the ilia more flared and more shallow from front to back.

Angle greater than 90

Usually larger and more round

Front 33

Male pelvis

Back 33

Is narrower and deeper and less flared

Angle less than 90

Usually narrower and more oval or heart shaped

Front 34

Sacroiliac joint

Back 34

Joints between the sacrum and each ilium

Front 35

Symphysis pubis

Back 35

Structure between the right and left pubis bones

Front 36

Union of acetabulum

Back 36

Temporary growth joint of each acetabulum that solidifies in the mid teen years
