Pelvic Girdle Composed of sacrum, coccyx, and 2 coxae (hipbones) Coxae have 3 distinct parts: Ilium Ischium Pubis

Pelvic Girdle, continued….. Coxae parts fuse together in the acetabulum, a cup-shaped area on the lateral surface of the hip that receives the head of the femur.

Ilium Largest and uppermost portion of the coxa The upper edge is called the iliac crest Joins the sacrum at the sacroiliac joint Anterior superior iliac spine- the bony prominence you feel as your “hipbone”

Ischium Forms the lowest portion of the coxa Ischial tuberosity Points posteriorly AND downward Supports the weight of the body when sitting Ischial spine – a sharp projection above the ischial tuberosity, near the junction of the ischium and ilium

Pubis Anterior portion of the coxa Two pubic bones join midline at the symphysis pubis joint Pubic arch Angle formed by pubic bones below the symphysis pubis Arch is wider in females
