The Pelvis
Two functions
1. connects the vertebral column to the femurs.
• bear the weight of the upper body and transfers that weight
from the axial skeleton to the appendicular skeleton
• provide attachments for muscles of locomotion and posture.
2. contain and protect pelvic and some abdominal viscera
• urinary tracts
• internal reproductive organs
• provide attachment for external reproductive organs and
associated muscles and membranes
