Anatomy, Ilium, Ischium, Pubis, SynsacrumAbstract
The present study was conducted on the pelvic bones of indigenous poultry of Poonch region. Pelvic girdle was made of ilium, ischium and pubis and was fused with synsacrum. Ilium was the largest of the three bones and presented pre-acetabular and post-acetabular part. Pre-acetabular part was longer than post-acetabular part. Dorsal iliac crest fused with spinous process of synsacrum anteriorly to form ilio-synsacral crest. Ventrally, the ilium presented on elongated renal fossa for the lodgment of kidneys on caudal aspect. Ischium was somewhat triangular in outline and was seen below the post-acetabular part of ilium without any distinct demarcation. It was thickest where it formed posterior part of acetabulum. Pubis was thin rib-like elongated bone situated along the ventral border of ischium. Acetabulum was circular in outline for articulation with the head of femur and was closed by translucent acetabular membrane. Anti-trochanter was observed in the caudo-dorsal aspect of acetabulum.
