Which three separate bones does the Pelvic Girdle consist of in childhood? | Ilium, ischium, and pubis |
Large, flaring bone Forms the superior region of the coxal bone Articulation with the sacrum forms sacroiliac joint | Ilium |
Forms postero-inferior region of the coxal bone Anteriorly joins the pubis | Ischium |
strongest part of the hip bone | Ischial tuberosities |
Forms the anterior region of the coxal bone Lies horizontally in anatomical position | Pubis |
Fibrocartilage at the midline joining the two pubic bones | Pubic symphysis |
Angle inferior to the pubic symphysis that helps to distinguish male from female pelves | Pubic arch |

2 regions of the pelvis | False (greater) pelvis—bounded by alae of the iliac bones True (lesser) pelvis—inferior to pelvic brim and forms a bowl containing the pelvic organs |

What are the major differences between male and female pelves? | Female pelvis is adapted for childbearing Pelvis is lighter, wider, and shallower than in the male Provides more room in the true pelvis |
