Pubis ( connects to Pubic Symphysis)
Obturator foramen (large hole)
Acetabulum ( socket)
Label parts of Ilium.
Iliac crest (top, make sure. not on spine)
Anterior superior iliac spine ( Top of c like shape)
Anterior inferior iliac spine ( Bottom of C like shape)
Greater sciatic notch ( in between outer ring of foreman)
Posterior superior iliac spine (above, not near notch)
Posterior inferior iliac spine (Near notch)
Label parts of ischium.
Ischial spine ( Small knot near socket )
Ischial tuberosity (big rough edge below the spine)
Label parts of the pubis.
Pubic Symphysis (what the two os coxae connect to yellow jelly)
Symphyseal surface ( where pubic symphysis meets)
Subpubic angle (Pubic arch) (Below pubic symphysis)
Name two types of pelvis. Name two pelvic spaces.
False pelvis above the pelvic brim.
True pelvis pelvic brim and below

Pelvic outlet ( through pelvis from below)
Label Parts of the femur.
Proximal end
head (has fovea capitis)
neck (in between the head and greater trochanter)
greater trochanter (higher than lower trochanter at the same level as head)
lesser trochanter (At the bottom of the neck)
Middle of bone
Linea Aspera
Distal end
lateral epicondyle (Lateral means out outward most piece)
