Osteology of the Lower Limb: Hip [Coxal] Bone (Lateral View)

Practice flashcards testing anatomical structures and landmarks of the lateral view of the hip (coxal) bone, including the ilium, ischium, pubis, and acetabulum.

The anatomical diagram represents the __________ view of the hip [coxal] bone.

lateral

The three primary bones that unite to form the hip [coxal] bone are the ilium, ischium, and __________.

pubis

On the gluteal surface of the wing (ala) of the ilium, the three curved ridges are the inferior gluteal line, the anterior gluteal line, and the __________ gluteal line.

posterior

The iliac crest features an external lip, a tubercle of iliac crest, and an __________ line of iliac crest.

intermediate

The two bony projections located along the anterior border of the ilium are the anterior superior iliac spine and the __________ inferior iliac spine.

anterior

Along the posterior border of the ilium, the two distinct bony projections are the posterior superior iliac spine and the __________ inferior iliac spine.

posterior

Located between the posterior inferior iliac spine and the ischial spine is the __________ notch.

greater sciatic

Positioned directly between the ischial spine and the ischial tuberosity is the __________ notch.

lesser sciatic

The crescent-shaped articular surface within the socket of the hip bone is known as the __________ surface of acetabulum.

lunate

The prominent outer rim of the hip socket is designated as the margin, or __________ of acetabulum.

limbus

The inferior gap or indentation interrupting the margin of the acetabulum is the __________ notch.

acetabular

The large opening enclosed by the pubis and ischium is called the __________ foramen.

obturator

The pubis contributes to the anterior and inferior boundary of the obturator foramen via the superior pubic ramus and the __________ pubic ramus.

inferior

The heavy, posteroinferior prominence of the ischium that supports body weight during sitting is the ischial __________.

tuberosity

The provided diagram illustrates the lateral view of the __________ [Coxal] Bone.

Hip

The three primary bones that compose the hip [coxal] bone are the ilium, the ischium, and the __________.

pubis

The curved ridge along the superior border of the ilium includes the intermediate line of iliac crest, the external lip of iliac crest, and the __________ of iliac crest.

tubercle

On the wing (ala) of ilium (gluteal surface), the three lines visible are the posterior gluteal line, the inferior gluteal line, and the __________ gluteal line.

anterior

On the anterior aspect of the ilium, superior to the anterior inferior iliac spine, lies the anterior __________ iliac spine.

superior

On the posterior aspect of the ilium, superior to the posterior inferior iliac spine, is the posterior __________ iliac spine.

superior

Located between the greater sciatic notch and the lesser sciatic notch is the __________ spine.

ischial

The deep, cup-shaped socket on the lateral view of the hip bone is the __________.

acetabulum

The smooth, crescent-shaped articular area within the acetabulum is called the __________ surface of acetabulum.

lunate

The prominent rim surrounding the acetabulum is designated as the margin (__________) of acetabulum.

limbus

At the inferior margin of the acetabulum, there is an indentation termed the acetabular __________.

notch

The large opening bounded by the ischium and the pubis is the __________ foramen.

obturator

On the posteroinferior aspect of the ischium, the prominent weight-bearing rough expansion is the ischial __________.

tuberosity

The pubis features an inferior pubic ramus, an obturator crest, a pubic tubercle, and a __________ pubic ramus.
