• Enlarged/roughened area of the ischium, region on which we sit _______________________
• A smaller ‘notched out’ segment of the ischium ____________________________________

Pubis – forms the ___________________________________ aspect of the hip bone, the 2 pubic bones articulate at the _____________________________________

                Acetabulum – the cup-shaped structure for articulating to the _______________________________

                Obturator foramen – large _______________________through which nerves and blood vessels pass

Thigh – region of the lower limb between __________________________________________

Femur – largest ____________________ in the human body, articulates to the hip bone proximally and the tibia distally

            Name the following bony landmarks based on the description given

• Smooth, rounded structure that articulates with the acetabulum of the hip bone ___________
• Thin region beside the head: _______________________
• Pair of protrusions used for muscle attachment ___________________________________
• Ridge down the posterior side of the bone, used for muscle attachment_______________________

Smooth, rounded projections, articulate to the condyles of the tibia __________________________

Answer 1

1. Ischium forms the posteroinferior part of hip bone.
2. It is Ischial tuberiosity which is enlarged rough part of ischium on which we sit. It makes the lateral boundary of pelvic outlet and carries the body weight while sitting.
3. It is Ischial Ramus,which is a superioanterior projection of the ischial tuberosity.
4. The pubis form the anterior aspect of hip bone.
5. The 2 pubic bone articulates at the pubic symphysis which is a cartilaginious joint.
6. Acetabulum articulates with the head of femur to form femoroacetabular joint which is a ball and socket type of synovial joint.
7. Obturator foramen is a large opening through which nerves and blood vessels pass via obturator canal.
8. Thigh is region of the lower limb between hip joint and knee joint.
9. Femur is the longest and strongest bone in the human body, articulates to the hip bone proximally and the tibia distally
10. Head of femur which is Smooth, rounded structure that articulates with the acetabulum of the hip bone to form femoroacetabular joint.
11. Thin region beside the head: Neck of femur
12. The greater and lesser trochanters are the pair of Pair of protrusions used for muscle attachment.
13. Fovia capitis which is located in the middle of head of femur and is prominent for muscle attachment.
14. the distal end of femur articulates to the condyles of tibia to form tibiofemoral joint which is a hinge type of synovial joint.
