4. 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.

5. 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”

6. 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

7. 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
