How many bones make up the pelvis
3
what are the bones that make up the pelvis
2 os coxae and 1 sacrum
the body of the sacrum articulates with what
L5
what is the sacral iliac joint
the line where the sacrum meet the os coxae
compare and contrast the pelvic and pectoral girdle
the pelvic girdle compromises mobility for stability
the pectoral girdle compromises stability for mobility
what is the acetabulum
it is the socket for the hip joint
the acetabulum is analogous to what structure
the glenoid fossa (socket for the humerus)
what three bones contribute to the acetabulum
ilium
ischium
pubis
What bone is most superior in the pelvis
the ilium
what part of the ilium contributes to the acetabulum
the body
What has 3 gluteal lines on the posterior side
the ala
what is the top of the ala
the iliac crest
what is on the anterior superior end of the iliac crest
ASIS
what is on the posterior inferior end of the iliac crest
PSIS
what marks the beginning of the greater sciatic notch
PIIS
what is inferior to ASIS anteriorly
AIIS
what marks the connection between the ala and the body, where the angle of the ilium changes
the arcuate line
what marks the top of the superior pubic ramus. This like extends medially towards the pubic tubercle
pecten
what marks the lateral boundary of the pelvic inlet
linea terminalis (iliopectineal line= arcuate line + pecten)
What part of the ischium contributes to the acetabulum
the body
what is the medial projection of the ischial ramus
Ischial spine
what is the inferior terminus of the ischial ramus
ischial tuberosity
what demarcates the boundary between the greater sciatic notch and the lesser sciatic notch
the ischial spine
what contributes to the acetabulum in the pubis
the superior ramus
Does the body of one pubis meet the body of the second at any point? If so, where?
Yes; at the pubic symphysis
what is the top of the body of the pubis
the pubic crest
what is the boundary between the body and the superior ramus of the pubis
the tubercle of the pubis
Which structure meets the ischium at the ischial tuberosity?
