Gluteal Region Flashcards
Two hip bones meet anteriorly to make the
symphysis pubis
Two hips bones meet posteriorly to form
sacroiliac joint with sacrum

In the same vertical plane
Each hip bone consists of
Ilium
Ischium
Pubis

femur and sacrum
Hip bone joins the ____ with ___
Axial with appendicular skeletons
Pelvic girdle is
2 hip bones together
Bony pelvis
pelvic girdle, sacrum, and coccyx bound together by ligaments
Which is the largest of the three that make up hip bone
Ilium

What part of the acetabulum does the ilium make up
superior 2/5
Iliac crest
Upper edge of the hip bone - reaches superiorly up to the 4th lumbar vertebrae (disc btw 4th and 5th) and extends from ASIS to PSIS
