WebLecture Slide 12

The acetabulum holds the head of the femur and this articulation is refered to as the hip joint. The skeletal pelvis supports and protects the abdominal and perineal viscera, but it is also a major component of the lower limbs. The skeletal pelvis is the major mechanism in transmitting upper body weight to the lower limbs. Locomotor and support mechanisms of the pelvis are considered in the lectures on the lower limb.
