What is the function of acetabulum?
The acetabulum is a concave surface on the pelvis. It is located where where the femur, or the thigh bone, and the pelvis meet, forming the hip joint. Since the acetabulum is a crucial part of the hip joint, its function is self-explanatory in that it supports the joint itself.
What is the acetabulofemoral?
* deep socket in the coxal bone* formed where the ilium, ischium, and pubis bones fuse* the head of the femur, the thigh bone, fits in the acetabulumAcetabulum is the area on the pelvis where the head of the femur joins the pelvis. It is a concave surface that allows for the forming of the hip joint which allows you kick your leg up.The hip has these two bowl shaped regions into which the upper femur fits. This is the hip joint. That bowl shaped region is called the acetabulum.
Where does the end of the thigh bone join with the kneecap?
The distal end of the femur joins with the patella.
What is the name of the bone at the base of the spine that connects to the pelvis bone?
The pelvis is made up of three bones; the ilium, the ischium, and the pubic bone. Attached to the back of the pelvis is the sacrum/coccyx which are two bones made of multiple vertebrae that are fused together. Also connected to the pelvic bone is the head of the femur (thigh bone) which sits in the acetabulum of the pelvis and creates the acetabulofemoral joint also known as the hip joint.

What type of joint is there at the thighbone and pelvis?
Ball and socket or spheriodal.The head of the femur, or thigh bone, comes together with the acetabulum of the pelvic bone.

What is the correct name of thigh bone?
The thigh bone is called the femur. It articulates with the pelvis at the acetabulum and the the patellae (knee cap) and tibia (shin bone).
What is the function of acetabulum?
The acetabulum is a concave surface on the pelvis. It is located where where the femur, or the thigh bone, and the pelvis meet, forming the hip joint. Since the acetabulum is a crucial part of the hip joint, its function is self-explanatory in that it supports the joint itself.
