the link between the lower limbs and the axial skeleton
pelvic girdle
The pelvic girdle is composed of 4 bones:
- 2 coxal bones (form the pelvic walls)
- sacrum and coccyx (form the posterior wall)
The hipbone is the result of its fusion of 3 different bones:
ilium, ischium and pubis.
hip joint socket
acetabulum
the larger, upper part of the hipbone and forms the upper part of the acetabulum
ilium
forms the postero-inferior part of the hipbone and acetabulum
ischium
forms the anteromedial part of the hipbone and the acetabulum
pubis
The coxal bone may also be divided into what 2 grossly observed portions
the true or lesser pelvis below, and the false or greater pelvis above
The separation of the two areas of the coxal bone is formed by an oblique plane called the
iliopectineal line
If The femur articulates with the ________ superiorly
coxal bone
The femur articulates with the ________ inferiorly
patella and the tibia
the longest and strongest bone of the body
femur
A small depression near the center of the head that serves as an attachment for the ligament of the head of the femur
fovea capitis
The neck of the femur presents an angle (called angle of inclination) of about _____ degrees with the long axis of the shaft
125 degrees
joint that attaches the pelvic girdle to the axial skeleton
Lumbosacral joint
Sacrococcygeal joint, supported by what two ligaments
lateral sacrococcygeal ligaments and the posterior sacrococcygeal ligament
Joint between pubic bones in pelvic girdle
Interpubic joint
a very strong synovial joint formed by the articular surface of the sacrum and the iliac bone
Sacroiliac (SI) joint
Four main ligaments of the sacroiliac joint
posterior ligament, interosseous sacroiliac ligament, anterior sacroiliac ligament, iliolumbar ligament
SI joint ligament is thin and situated on the anterior aspect of the joint
anterior sacroiliac ligament
a strong ligament observed running between the transverse processes of the 3rd and 4th lumbar vertebrae and the posterior portion of the iliac crest
iliolumbar ligament
The SI joint also has two accessory ligaments (flat and triangular), known as the
Sacrotuberous ligament, Sacrospinous ligament
SI joint accessory ligament from the lateral part of the sacrum and coccyx and the posterior inferior iliac spine to the ischial tuberosity
Sacrotuberous ligament
SI joint accessory ligament from the lateral part of the sacrum and coccyx to the ischial spine
Sacrospinous ligament
