Anatomy
Description
Hip Bone has what parts?   Ilium, Ischium, Pubis  
Ilium: region and its parts   The superior portion of the hip one, consists of: Body, Ala, Iliac crest, anterior superior iliac spine, anterior inferior iliac spine, posterior superior iliac spine, posterior inferior iliac spine, greater sciatic notch, iliac fossa, auricular surface.  
Ischium: region and its parts   ischial tuberosity, body, ischial ramus, ischial spine, obturator foramen  
Pubis: region and its parts   anterior portion; Body, superior pubic ramus, inferior pubic ramus, pubic tubercle  
Body of the ilium   the thickest portion that helps form the acetabulum  
Ala (wing)   the upper expanded wing-like portion  
iliac crest   ILIUM: expanded upper edge or border of the ala  
anterior superior iliac spine   ILIUM: anterior projection marking the beginning of the iliac crest  
anterior inferior iliac spine   ILIUM: a small projection just below or inferior to the anterior superior iliac spine  
posterior superior iliac spine   ILIUM: posterior projection marking the end of the iliac crest  
posterior inferior iliac spoine   ILIUM: a small projection just below the posterior superior iliac spin  
greater sciatic notch   ILIUM: a deep indentation on the posterior margin just below the poterior inferior iliac spoine  
iliac fossa   ILIUM: a smooth slight concave surface between the anterior and medial borders  
auricular surface   ILIUM: an ear-shaped roughened surface on the medial border for an articulation with the sacrum  
Ischial tuberosity   the lower rounded edge, roughened for muscular attachment of the hamstring muscles  
Body of Ischium   thickest portion that fuses with the ilium and the pubis to form the acetabulum  
Iscial ramus   ISCHIUM: an anterior projection from the iscial tuberosity which fuses with the inferior ramus of the pubis to form the lower border of the obturator foramen  
iscial spine   ISCHIUM: a small pointed projection posteriorly just below the greater sciatic notch  
obturator foramen   ISCHIUM: a large circular opening formed by the joining of the iscial ramus and the inferior pubic ramus  
PUBIS: region of the hip bone and its parts?   anterior portion of the hip bone; has: body, superior pubic ramus, inferior pubic ramus, and pubic tubercle  
Body of Pubis   fusses with the ilium and the iscium to form the acetabulum  
superior pubic ramus   projects upward and laterally from the body  
inferior pubic ramus   a short bar that extends backward or posteriorly from the body  
pubic tubercle   a small bump at the medial edge of the superior pubic ramus  
ACETABULUM   a cupshaped cavity formed by the fusion of the ilium, iscium, and pubic bones. the cup shape has an indentation inferiorly, called the acetabular notch. The head of the femur fits into the acetabulum to form the hip joint.  
pelvic girdle: formed by what   two hip bones, joined anteriorly at the pubic symphysis, separated behind by sacrum, where they articulate. Pelvic girdle and sacrum form bony pelvis  
acetabular notch   a cup shape with an inferior indentation
