The hydropathic encyclopedia : a system of hydropathy and hygiene in eight parts ..designed as a guide to families and students, and a text-book for physicians . pectineal line ; m, rn, its prolongation to tho promontoryjf the sacrum. The brim of the true pelvis is represented by the line h, i, k k, 11, m m,n. The ilio-pectineal eminence, o. The smooth surface which supports the femoral ves-eels, p, p. The great sacro iechiatic notch. The pelvis is situated obliquely in relation to the trunk of the body,the inner surface of the ossa pubis being directed upward to support?he superincumbent viscera of the abdomen. Its cavity measures indepth four inches and a half posteriorly, three and a half in tho mid-dle, and one and a half at the symphisis pubis. Its inlet has threediameters, anteroposterior, transverse, and oblique. Its outlet has two,the antero-postcrior and transverse. Each os innominatum is divided into three portions, which, in theyoung subject, constitute separate bones; they are called os ilium, 09ischium, and os pubis. The ilium is the upper expanded portion form-ing the prominence of the hip, and articulating with the sacrum. The. 0ST20L0GY. 75 ischium is the inferior strong part of it on which the body rests insitting. The pubis forms the front of the pelvis, and supports the ex-ternal genital organs. The acetabulum is a deep cavity at the junction of the three portionsof the innominatum, for receiving the head of the femur, or thigh the ischium and pubis is a large oval opening, called obturatorforamen; it is covered by a ligamentous membrane; a groove in itsupper part lodges the obturator vessels and nerves. BONES OF THE LOWER EXTREMITIES. These are the femur, patella, tibia and fibula, tarsus, metatarsus, andphalanges. The Femur, or thigh bone, is the longest in the body; it stands ob liquely between the hip and knee, this obliquitybeing greatest in the female, on account of thegreater breadth of the pelvis. Its upper extremityis divided
