Bones of the pelvis

bone of the pelvis

In vertebrates, the pubis or pubic bone () forms the lower and anterior part of each side of the hip bone. The pubis is the most forward-facing (ventral and anterior) of the three bones that make up the hip bone. The left and right pubic bones are each made up of three sections; a superior ramus, an inferior ramus, and a body.

uppermost and largest part of the hip bone, and appears in most vertebrates (including mammals and birds), but not bony fish or snakes

The acetabulum (; : acetabula), also called the cotyloid cavity, is a concave surface of the pelvis. The head of the femur meets with the pelvis at the acetabulum, forming the hip joint.
