Radius. a, K bones of wrist; 6. metacarpus 162 c, d, «, phalanges. THE NEW MEDICAL WORLD. 163 flaring bones, and from their lack of resemblance to anything theyare called the nameless bones (innominata), and they are sometimescalled the haunch bones. The os innominatum in early life is com-posed of three bones, the ilium, ischium and pubic; these unite inadult life and form one bone. The sacrum fits in between the innominata like a wedge. Theilium is the upper and flaring portion of the os innominatum, usuallycalled the hip bone; the ischium is the lower portion, upon which thebody rests when we sit. The rim of bone running round in front tomeet its opposite is the pubic bone, and the line of union is calledthe symphysis. On each side there is a deep cup-shaped depressionto receive the head of the thigh bone, or femur. This deep cup iscalled the acetabulum, and the thigh bone is held in it by a strong a- _ a.

Within the pelvis are important organs, as the bladder,the uterus and the rectum. The pelvis is of especial interest to the physician, who must under-stand thoroughly its mechanism in order to be successful in conduct-ing difficult labor or childbirth. IX.—THE BOXES OF THE LOWER EXTREMITIES. The femur or thigh bone is the largest, longest and strongest boneof the human body.
