❖ The skeleton of the pelvis is a basin- shaped ring of with holes in its walls that connect the vertebral column (Trunk) to both femora (lower extremities). ❖ Its Primary Functions are: ➢ Bears the weight of the upper body when sitting and standing “the most important function”. ➢ Transfers that weight from the axial skeleton to the lower appendicular skeleton when standing and walking. ➢ Provides attachments and withstands the forces of the powerful muscles of locomotion (movement) and posture. ❖ Its Secondary Functions are: ➢ Contains and Protects the pelvic and abdominopelvic viscera (inferior parts of the urinary tracts, internal reproductive organs) ➢ Provides attachment for external reproductive organs and associated muscles and membranes. Pelvic Girdle : : ❖ Compared to the ❖ Each one is a large irregular Pectoral Girdle, the bone. pelvic girdle is Larger, ❖ Formed of three bones: heavier, and stronger. ➢ (superior) ❖ The total weight of the ➢ (inferior posterior) ➢ (inferior anterior) upper body rests on the ❖ They are joined at a deep socket pelvis.

Important to know the difference between:

Articulations of hip bone symphysis pubis:

-a secondary cartilaginous joint between the two pubic bones Sacroiliac joints:

-strong synovial joints, between the auricular surfaces of both iliac bones and the sacrum

-transmit the weight of the body from vertebral column to the bony pelvis Hip joints:

-The outer surface articulates at the acetabulum with the head of the femur. Sacrum And Coccyx: *Sacrum: Coccyx: - Consists of four vertebrae fused -A single wedge shaped bone. together forming a single Triangular piece. vertebrae fused together. *Dorsal surface(Posterior): rough & ridgeبدائية Consist of Five rudimentary- Pelvic surface(anteriorly): relatively smooth -The anterior and posterior surfaces possess on each side four Sacral Foramina.

-Its lower limit is the Sacral Hiatus. Sacral promontory:

1) The anterior and upper margin.(represent the body of the first sacral vertebrae)

2) It is tilted forward forming the lumbosacral angle.

*Sacral Canal: The cauda equina, pass through the canal to send their dorsal and ventral rami through the corresponding sacral foramina. Articulation Of Sacrum

1)Lumbosacral joint:

The upper border articulates with the 5th lumbar vertebra. 2) Sacrococcygeal joint:

The weakest parts of the bony pelvis are: ❏ Pubic rami ❖ Pelvic Fractures can result from ❏ Acetabula direct trauma to the pelvic bones as ❏ Region of occurs in car accidents or by forces ❏ Alae of the ilium transmitted to these bones from the lower limbs during falls on the feet.

❖ Pelvic fractures may cause injury to the pelvic soft tissues, blood vessels, nerves and organs. Subdivision of the bony pelvis The bony pelvis is divided into two parts by the .

For identification of human skeletal remains, the bony pelvis is of prime focus of attention because sexual differences are clearly visible.

Even parts of the pelvis are useful in making a diagnosis of sex. Types of Obstetrical Female Pelvis

(1)Gynaecoid: the typical female type.

(2)Anthropoid: long, narrow, and oval shaped.(Between Male & Female pelvic)

(3)Android: funnel shaped with contracted outlet. (It causes hazards to normal vaginal delivery) (close to male pelvic)

(4)Platypelloid: wide, flattened at the brim, with forward promontory. (Transverse is wider than usual) summary:
