Does a male's pelvis have thicker bones than a female's?

Is a sternum a bigger bone bone than the femur?
Not even close. The femur is much larger.
Is a female pelvis bigger than a male pelvis?
In proportion to the rest of the anatomy, a female pelvis is wider than a male pelvis. However, it may not be bigger, because females are smaller/less tall than men, so in proportion a female pelvis is wider, and the 'wings' are larger than a male pelvis, but necessarily bigger. Also the public ramus in a female is larger, than a male. This is because it is to allow the foetal head to pass through during child birth.
Where found femur in skeletal system?
Your femur is your thigh bone. It is the largest bone in your body. It is connected to your pelvis.
Where in the body is femur found?

Which bone is attached to your hip bone?

What bone protects the spinal cord pelvis or femur?
The pelvis protects the spinal cord more effectively than the femur. The spinal cord is encased within the vertebral column, which is part of the spine, and the pelvic bones provide support and protection to the lower part of the spine. The femur, being the thigh bone, does not provide any protection to the spinal cord.
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.
