The hip girdle protects the hip joints and supports the upper body's weight when standing, walking, or running. It also helps in stabilizing the pelvis and maintaining proper alignment of the spine during movements. Additionally, the hip girdle plays a crucial role in connecting the lower limbs to the torso for functional activities.
The bony girdle, also known as the pelvic girdle, protects and supports the organs in the lower abdominal region, such as the reproductive organs, bladder, and part of the colon. It also provides a stable base for the attachment of the lower limbs, allowing for movement and weight bearing.
The pelvic bones, or "hip bones" are also called the innominates, the OS coxae or the pelvis.
No, the femur does not insert into the pelvic girdle at the patella. The femur connects to the pelvic girdle at the acetabulum, which is located in the hip bone. The patella, or kneecap, is a bone that sits in front of the knee joint and provides protection and leverage for the quadriceps muscle, but it is not involved in the connection between the femur and the pelvic girdle.
The area is known as the pelvic girdle the bones that make up the girdle are the ilium, the ishium and the pubis.
The pectoral girdle supports and protects the shoulder joints and helps in the movement of the arms. It consists of the clavicle and scapula bones, providing attachment points for muscles that move the arms and shoulders. The pectoral girdle also helps protect the underlying structures like blood vessels and nerves.
Pectoral Girdle
No - the pectoral girdle refers to the shoulders. The two bones that make up the pectoral girdle are the scapula and clavicle.

The scientific name for the hip bone is the "os coxae" or "innominate bone."
The area is known as the pelvic girdle the bones that make up the girdle are the ilium, the ishium and the pubis.
The bony girdle, also known as the pelvic girdle, protects and supports the organs in the lower abdominal region, such as the reproductive organs, bladder, and part of the colon. It also provides a stable base for the attachment of the lower limbs, allowing for movement and weight bearing.
The attachment of the leg to the pelvic girdle at the hip is formed by the hip joint, which is a ball-and-socket joint where the rounded head of the femur (thigh bone) fits into the acetabulum of the pelvis. Ligaments and muscles surround the joint to provide stability and allow for movement in various directions.
The ilium, ischium, and pubis which form the pelvic girdle.
The intestines, the bladder, the uterus (females), the prostate (males).
The pelvic girdle is joined by several structures, primarily the sacrum at the back, which connects to the hip bones (ilium, ischium, and pubis) on either side. These hip bones are further connected to each other at the front by the pubic symphysis. The pelvic girdle provides support for the weight of the upper body and serves as an attachment point for various muscles and ligaments. Additionally, the pelvic cavity houses and protects reproductive and digestive organs.
False
The appendicular skeleton consists of the bones of the shoulder girdle, hip, and extremities. These bones provide support and attachment points for muscles that allow for movement and mobility.
