In vertebrate anatomy, the hip, or coxa (: coxae) in medical terminology, refers to either an anatomical region or a joint on the outer (lateral) side of the pelvis.

AI overview

The hip is the region or joint located on the outer side of the pelvis in vertebrates, and it serves as a crucial connection point that allows movement between the upper and lower body. Understanding the hip is important because it bears significant weight during everyday activities like walking and standing, making it central to mobility and physical function.
