The right and left halves of the pelvis are called the os coxae, or innominate bones. They are shaped a little like an ossified pair of granny panties that has been cut in half down the middle, had a piece the approximate size of a saucer removed from the center back, and had a hole punched in the bottom front of each half.The os coxae themselves each consist of three bones. The ilium is the top portion of the pelvis, where hands rest on hips; the ischium is further down, and includes the knobby sitz-bones, or ischial tuberosities; and the pubis is at the front base of the pelvis.The sacrum is a fused set of spinal vertebrae that looks a little like a big leaf. It forms the back of the pelvis.
