THE PELVIS ITS ARTICULATIONS AND LIGAMENTS. 



The bones of the pelvis are the sacrum, coccyx, and ossa innominata. The 

 pelvis articulates with the lumbar part of the vertebral column, and with the 

 head of the femur. We may then classify the articulations, for purposes of con- 

 venience, as (i) intrinsic, where the articulation is between pelvic bones ; (2) ex- 

 trinsic, where the articulation is between pelvic bones and bones not pelvic.
