Hip bone
What are the bones to fuse a hip bone?
Iliac
Pubic
Ischial
What are the two surfaces called for a hip bone?
Lateral and medial
A line or ridge that extends from:
- sacral promontory posteriorly
- around the lateral margin of the superior pelvic aperture
- top of the symphysis pubis anteriorly
Pelvic brim
What are the 3 parts of the pelvic brim?

A pelvic inlet is also called?
Superior pelvic aperture
Is also called as the inferior pelvic aperture?
Pelvic outlet
What are the functions of a pelvis?
- Transmission of the weight from the axial skeleton to the lower limbs when standing and to the ischial tuberosities when sitting
- Provides attachments for the muscles that control lower limb
- Houses the terminal parts of the GIT and urinary tract and reproductive system.
A fribromuscular sheet that forms the pelvic floor?
Pelvic diaphragm
Extends from the pubic symphysis anteriorly to the ischial spine and coccyx posteriorly

This closes the pelvic outlet
