Anatomy of Leg

Introduction
BONES
 Pelvic Girdle
Structure:The pelvic is bony ring composed of sacrum and right and left hipbones joined anteriorly at the pubic
symphysis.
Joints:Sacroiliac joint
Hip joint
Pelvic joint
Function:Its primary functions are to bear the weight of the upper body when sitting and standing.
Its secondary functions are to contain and protect the pelvic and abdominopelvic viscera (inferior parts of the
urinary tracts, internal reproductive organs), providing attachment for external reproductive organs and
associated muscles and membranes.
 Hip Bone
Type:Large flat bone
Structure:Formed by fusion of the ilium,pubis and ischium in the acetabulum.Articulate with
sacrum at Sacroiliac joint.
Joint:Hip joint
Pelvic joint
Sacroiliac joint
 Femur
Introduction:thigh bone is the longest and the shortest bone of the body.
Type:Long bone
