      • Facies iliaca
      • Facies auricularis
      • Tuberositas iliaca
• Linea arcuata
  
  • Tuberculum m. psoas minoris (Ø ca)
• Incisura ischiadica major

Question 5

Pelvis

Os pubis

Answer 5

• Consists of three parts:
  
  • Corpus ossis pubis
  • Ramus cranialis ossis pubis: Cranial to for. obturatorium)
  • Ramus caudalis ossis pubis: Medial to for. obturatorium, fuses caudally with ramus ossis ischii)
• Symphysis pubis: Unite with the ramus of the opposite side
• Pecten ossis pubis: Cranial border of ramus cranialis
• Eminentia iliopubica: laterally on pecten ossis pubis
• Tuberculum pubicum ventrale: In the middle, formed by the two os pubis
• Tuberculum pubicum dorsale/ventrale
  
  • ​Male: crest
  • Female: more or less flat

Structures:

• Corpus ossis pubis
• Ramus cranialis ossis pubis
• Ramus caudalis ossis pubis
• Pecten ossis pubis
• Eminentia iliopubica
• Tuberculum pubicum dorsale
• Tuberculum pubicum ventrale
• Sulcus obturatorius
• Sulcus ligamenti accessorii ossis femoris (eq)

Question 6

Pelvis

Acetabulum

Answer 6

• The three pelvic bone unite to form the acetabulum
• Where the pelvis and the femur meets
  
  • ​**Art. coxae, hip joint
• Facies lunata: ​Articular part
  
  • Bo:
    
    • Pars major
    • Pars minor
• Fossa acetabuli: Non-articular fossa (for ligamentous attachment)​
• Incisura acetabuli: Passage of ligaments
• Margo acetabuli: Acetabular rim

Question 7

Pelvis

Draw the pelvis from dorsal and ventral view (eq)

Answer 7

Question 8

Pelvis

Os ischii

Answer 8

• Corpus ossis ischii: participating in forming acetabulum
• Symphysis ischiadica: the two sides unite
• Tuber ischiadicum
  
  • ​Eq, ca: thickened ridge
  • Ru: triangular
  • Sus: caudally directed process with a lateral tubercle
