What is the cervical region?
Atlas (C1)
Axis (C2), no vertebral body, has dens
What is the thoracic region?
Superior and Inferior Costal Facets T1-T12 vertebrae (Transverse Costal Facets on transverse process of T1-T9 vertebrae)
What is the Lumbar Region?
no foramina in transverse processes or costal facets for rib articulation
What is the Sacral region?
five fused vertebrae, wedge- shaped, attaches vertebral column to hip bones
What is the coccygeal?
tiny caudal vertebrae

What is the Acetabulum?
joint surface located at fusion of ilium, ischium, and pubid
What is the obturator foramin?
hole, located between ischium and pubis
Ilium?
largest and most superior of the three bones in the pelvic girdle, includes: iliac crest with an anterior superior iliac spine, anterior inferior iliac spine, iliac fossa, and greater sciatic notch
Ischium?
most posterior and inferior bone of the os coxae, includes: Ischial spine that projects posteriorly, ischial tuberosity which is the part we sit on, ischial ramus that joins the inferior pubic ramus to form a bar of bone, and a lesser sciatic notch
Pubis?
most anterior bone of the os coxae and has a superior pubic ramus and an inferior pubic ramus, the two bones articulate in the anterior midline at the pubic symphysis. Lateral to the pubic symphysis is the pubic tubercle
What is the hip bone called?
Os Coxae
Sacroiliac (posterior and anterior) ligament attach? **Pelvic Ligaments
sacrum to ilium
Sacrotuberous ligament attach? **Pelvic Ligaments
sacrum to ischial tuberosity
