The pelvis is rather a large bone, technically it is 3 bones joined like in the skull on each side. These three are called the Illium, Ischium and the Pubis. Without a diagram I think it impossible to demonstrate the separate bones but no matter. There are three major joints the pelvis makes.
Firstly there as a small but crucial joint at the very front joining the pubis bones of the left and right sides. This is called the Pubic Symphysis and is a very strong cartilagenous joint (to be precise it is secondary cartilagenous). This joint allows very little movement. The angle of the bones beneath the pubic symphysis are often what is used to determine the gender of an unknown skeleton, smaller angle in males than in females.
The Second joint is the illioacral joint which is located at the posterior beteen the illium of the pelvis and the sacral region of the spine. The abundance of ligaments around this joint might trick some into believing it is a fibrous joint but it is not. In fact the joint here is a synovial plane joint. This allows some, but granted little, movement between the pelvis and the sacrum. In a women in labour the hormone relaxin is released which makes the muscle and tendons around this joint relax drastically so that more movement can occur, allowing the baby to fit through the pelvic outlet more easily.
The third and final major joint the pelvis maked is the one know as the Hip joint, between the pelvis and the Lower Limb (in anatomy only the bottom part of the lower limb is called the Leg). This is a very mobile synovial Ball And Socket joint at which several types of motion can occur. The part of the lover limb that is atached is called the Head of the Femur and form the ball part. The part od the pelvis involved is called the Acetabulum and form ths socket part. The Aectabutlum is right at the junction where all three of the pelvic bones meat and is coveres in a thick layer of cartialge to protect the joint.

What is a pelvic sling?
A pelvic sling is a supportive device used to stabilize the pelvic region, often in the context of treating pelvic organ prolapse or providing support after pelvic surgery. It typically consists of mesh material that is surgically implanted to lift and support the pelvic organs, helping alleviate symptoms such as urinary incontinence or pelvic pressure. The procedure aims to restore normal function and improve the quality of life for individuals experiencing pelvic floor disorders.
Where are the reproductive organs housed?
