66 Coxal Bones Formed as fusion of embryonic ilium, ischium, pubis. All three contribute to acetabulum Ilium: iliac crest, anterior and posterior superior iliac spines, greater sciatic notch, auricular surface, sacroiliac joint, iliac fossa Ischium: ischial tuberosity Pubis: pubic crest, symphysis pubis (pubic symphysis) Pelvic brim False (greater pelvis) pelvis superior to brim True pelvis inferior to brim Pelvic inlet Pelvic outlet 7-66

75 Function Arches of the Foot Distribute weight of body between heel and ball of foot: weight transferred from the tibia and fibula to the talus. From there, the weight is distributed first to the calcaneus then through the arch system along the lateral side of the foot to the ball (head of the metatarsals). Footprint in wet sand: only heel, lateral margin, ball, and toes of foot imprinted. Three major arches Transverse arch Longitudinal arches: Medial and lateral 7-75
