The acetabulum articulates with?

What is the posterior, inferior portion of the hipbone?
The ischium
What part of the hipbone do you sit on?
The ischium
Obturator Foreman
The largest foreman in the skeleton, located between the ischium and the pubis. Covered by a membrane, but allows blood vessels and nerves to pass.
The pubic synthesis
The place where the 2 pubi unite
The 2 coxal bones unite anteriorly at?
The pubic synthesis.
What passes through the greater sciatic notch?
The sciatic nerve, longest nerve in the body.
What bone is the medial malleous associated with?
The tibia
What is the larger, medial bone of the leg?

points of attachment for thigh and butt muscles
The medial and lateral condyles of the tibia articulate with
the medial and lateral condyles of the femur
the fibula articulates distally with
the talus bone
Distal end of the femur-parts
1. Medial and lateral condyles 2. Intercondylar fossa 3. Patella surface
The 3 parts of the hip bone fuse together to become one at?
23 years old.
How many bones are in lower extremities and pelvic girdle?
62
Acetabulum
A deep fossa formed by the fusion of 3 hip bone parts. Articulates with the head of the femur, forming the coxal joint.
Medial Malleous
A medial projection on the distal end of the tibia that articulates with talus bone of the ankle.`
Intercondylar eminence of the tibia
A slight upward projection between the medial and lateral condyles
Linear apea
A vertical ridge on the posterior surface of the diaphysis of the femur. Thigh muscles attach here.
Structure of bony pelvis?
Basin-like ring.
Where is the greater sciatic notch?
Below the posterior superior illiac spine
Where is the obturator foreman

Fibula
The superior border of the illium?
Illiac crest
The superior, largest part of the hip bone?
Illium
Where does the patella develop?
