  • The pelvis consists of four parts: two hip bones, the sacrum, and the coccyx.
  • The sacral promontory is a prominent curved structure at the front of the sacrum.
  • The sacral canal is a passage for the spinal cord and nerves.
  • The pelvis meets the vertebral column at the sacrum.
  • The female pelvis has a subpubic angle of 90 degrees.
