Female pelvis,artwork. The lowest lumbar vertebra of the spinal column (top centre) forms a joint with the sacrum (triangular). The sacrum forms the back of the pelvis and is connected to the large ear-shaped hip bones (left and right). Each hip bone is formed from three fused bones and accommodates the ball of the head of each femur (thigh bone),forming the hip joints. Compared to an adult male pelvis,the adult female pelvis is wider and shallower | |
