The pelvis is a basin-shaped structure that supports the spinal column and protects the abdominal organs. It contains the following:
- Sacrum. A spade-shaped bone that is formed by the fusion of 5 originally separate sacral vertebrae.
- Coccyx (also called the tail bone). Formed by the fusion of 4 originally separated coccygeal bones.
- Three bones:
- Ilium. The broad, flaring portion of the hip bone (the crest of the pelvis).
- Pubis. The lower, posterior part of the hip bone.
- Ischium. One of the bones that helps form the hip.
