The pelvis is formed by four bones which include a pair of hip bones otherwise known as innominate bones the sacrum, which comes with the five lower sacral bones that are fused together and the coccyx which has four fused and a single individual terminal vertebra.

The pelvic girdle consists of the hip bones and the sacrum and its function is to transmit the weight from the upper body to the lower limbs, while allowing the body to stay balanced.

Meanwhile the ilium, ischium and pubis fuse together at puberty to form the hip bones and are joined by the cartilage found in the acetabulum.
