Detailed explanation-1: -The bony pelvis can be divided and viewed into 2 parts: anterior and posterior. The anterior part is called the pelvic girdle which is composed of the pubis, the ischium, and the ilium. It is connected posteriorly to the pelvic spine. The pelvic spine consists of the coccyx and sacrum.
Detailed explanation-2: -The pelvic region of the trunk is the lower part of the trunk, between the abdomen and the thighs. It includes several structures: the bony pelvis, the pelvic cavity, the pelvic floor, and the perineum. The bony pelvis (pelvic skeleton) is the part of the skeleton embedded in the pelvic region of the trunk.
Detailed explanation-3: -The bony pelvis is the entire structure formed by the two hip bones, the sacrum, and, attached inferiorly to the sacrum, the coccyx (Figure 1).
Detailed explanation-4: -The pelvis is divided into the greater and lesser pelvis by an oblique plane that passes through the prominence of the sacrum, the arcuate and pectineal lines, and the upper margin of the symphysis pubis (Netter, 2010). The circumference of this plane is named the linea terminalis or pelvic brim.
Detailed explanation-5: -Ilium. The broad, flaring portion of the hip bone (the crest of the pelvis). Pubis. The lower, posterior part of the hip bone. Ischium. One of the bones that helps form the hip.
