Butt bones are called (correct anatomical term)?
Ischium (“squishium”)!
Together the pubic arch, ischium, pubic bone, illium (the hip) is called?
Coxal bone (hip) or os coxae!
Define acetabulum!
Hip (coxal bone) socket to attach the femur head to.
Hip lateral (side) view: how can we tell if it’s the side right or left view?
There is an acetabulum! The top of the thigh bone fits there.
The back is the ischium “squishium” butt bones.
How can we tell if it’s the medial view of the hip bone?
No acetabulum!
Also, presence of a weird ear shaped thing (auricular surface and auricular translates to ear).
Determine what the red region is called (medial view os coxae):
Eat looking thing that lets us know we are looking at the medial hip view!
Auricular surface!

Top: illium.
Back: ischium.
Front: pubis.
Left: back.
Right: front.
What is the red region called? Hint: it’s important to determine where the side hip view posterior (back) is:
Sciatic notch! Closer to the bum!
Determine if it’s the male or female pelvis. Which one is the male coxal bone and which one is the female coxal bone? Why?
Female: wider, shorter for birth.
*Male: taller, stronger, bigger bone because of testosterone.
This is the male one.
