Acetabulum
acetabulumThe ilium, ischium, and pubis fuse at the deep hemispherical socket called the acetabulum (literally, "wine cup"), which receives the head of the thigh bone.
The deep socket in the hip bone that receives the head of the thigh bone is called the acetabulum. It forms part of the hip joint, providing a secure and stable connection for the head of the femur. The acetabulum is lined with cartilage to cushion and facilitate smooth movement within the joint.

Ball and socket or spheriodal.The head of the femur, or thigh bone, comes together with the acetabulum of the pelvic bone.
In the superior extremity you have ball of humerus (Head) and socket (Glenoid cavity) of the scapula. In the inferior extremity, you have ball of femur (Head of femur) and socket ( Acetabulum) of hip bone.
The hip joint if formed by the head of the femur and the acetabulum, which is a "cup" or concave structure integral to the pelvis. Below you'll find links to the related Wikipedia post where you can find more information and pictures.
The acetabelum is the hip socket. The "ball" joint of the hip fits into this socket so the leg can move properly.I think you mean Acetabulum, and it is the socket of the hip joint.
There are two. They are at the point where the femurs and the pelvis join.
The hip joint is a ball-and-socket joint that has a layer of cartilage covering both the head of the femur (thigh bone) and the acetabulum (the socket in the pelvis). So, the hip joint has cartilage in both the femoral head and the acetabulum.
