What is the cup like depression of the coxal bones into which the head of the femur fits?

It is called acetabulum. Acetabulum articulates with round head of femur bone.

What bones are fuse to form the coxal bone?

The coxal bone parts include the ilium, ischium and pubis

What is the point of articulation between the femur and the innominate bones?

Acetabulum is the point where the three components of Innominate Bones (ilium, ischium, and pubis) are met

What are the three bones that articulate with the femur?

The proximal end of the femur articulates with the acetabulum, which is the socket joint of the pelvis. The acetabulum is formed by the fusion of the three bones which make up the pelvis, the ischium, the ilium and the pubis. The distal end of the femur articulates with the patellae (knee caps) and the tibia.

The hip socket is also known as?

The hip socket is called the acetabulum; the hip bone is called the pelvis or pelvic girdle. The joint is the femoro-acetabular or femoro-pelvic joint.

What attaches to the acetabulum?

Femur (thigh bone) fits into acetabulum.

Deep socket in the hip bone that receives the head of the thigh bone?

Fuse to form the coxal bone?

The fully developed, adult coxal bone (or innominate bone or hip bone) is made up of three parts: The ischium, the ilium and the pubis. These three bones meet at the triradiate cartilage in an immature individual and eventually fuse as the individual reaches skeletal maturity (15-16 years old). The triradiate cartilage can be found at the base of the acetabulum.

Hip socket is known as the?

The acetabulum is a concave surface of the pelvis. The head of the femur meets with the pelvis at the acetabulum, forming the hip joint

With what part of the hip bone does The head of the femur articulate?

The head of the femur articulates with the os coxa (pelvis) at the acetabulum. The acetabulum is the rounded socket that the head of the femur fits into. It also allows sliding of the pelvic bones and rotation. This joint is a synovial joint and is an example of a "ball-and-socket" joint.
