The pelvis (pl. pelvises or pelves) is the bony structure located at the base of the spine (properly known as the caudal end). The pelvis incorporates the socket portion of the hip joint for each leg (in bipeds) or hind leg (in quadrupeds). It forms the lower limb (or hind-limb) girdle of the skeleton.

Components The pelvis is formed of three bones: the ilium, ischium and pubis. These three bones fuse together with age and are collectively known as the os coxae, or the innominate bone. The ilium of the pelvis is divisible into two parts, the body and the ala; the separation is indicated on the internal surface by a curved line, the arcuate line, and on the external surface by the margin of the acetabulum. ...
The ischium forms the lower and back part of the hip bone. ...
The pubis, the anterior part of the hip bone, is divisible into a body, a superior and an inferior ramus. ...
The pelvis is joined to the sacrum bone by ligaments (the sacroiliac joint), and the hip bones nest in specially shaped sockets (the acetabulum) on each side. For the record label, see Sacrum Torch The sacrum is a large, triangular bone at the base of the spine and at the upper and back part of the pelvic cavity, where it is inserted like a wedge between the two hip bones. ...

The place at the front of the pelvis where both pubis bones join together is called the symphisis pubica. This is normally a very inflexible joint, but it softens and becomes more flexible during late pregnancy, allowing it to expand during labor for the baby's head to pass through. The pubic symphysis is the midline cartilaginous joint uniting the superior rami of the left and right pubic bones (pubis). ...
Function The pelvis protects the digestive and reproductive organs in the lower part of the body, and many large nerves and blood vessels pass through it to supply the legs. It is also an important load-bearing part of the skeletal system. It also provides a connection between the axial skeleton and the hind limbs that is the legs. The hind limb consits of several bones such as the femur, tibia, fibula, tarsus, metatarsus and phalanges. The femur is the largest bone in the human body. Its lower end articulates with the tibia to form a hinge joint at the knee. The fibula is a shorter and smaller bone. Both the tibia and fibula form joints with the tarsus at the ankle. The reproductive system is the ensembles and interactions of organs and/or substances within an organism that strictly pertain to reproduction. ...
