May 1, 2024 3 minute read

The pelvis is a bony structure that forms the lower part of the trunk and supports the abdominal and pelvic organs. It is made up of four bones: the two hip bones (ilia), the sacrum, and the coccyx. The hip bones are the large, fan-shaped bones that form the sides and front of the pelvis. The sacrum is a triangular bone that forms the back of the pelvis. The coccyx is a small, triangular bone that forms the tip of the pelvis.
