crest, pectineal line, arcuate line, and sacral
promontory

coccyx, ischial tuberosities, and inferior border of
pubic symphysis
Features of the Pelvis
Figure 8.10
Female vs. Male Pelvis
• Most reliable indicator of the sex of a
skeleton is the pelvis, due to the
requirements of pregnancy and childbirth
• Major differences:
–
–
–
female ilia laterally flared = wider pelvis
female pelvic inlet = wide oval, male’s =
heart-shaped
female subpubic angle wider, >100º vs. <90º
in males

Foot Arches
•
•
To prevent pinching of muscles, nerves, and
blood vessels feet do not rest flat on floor
Three major arches:
– Medial: from heel to hallux; highest arch
– Lateral: from heel to 5th toe; lowest arch
– Transverse: perpendicular to other
arches; along distal row of tarsals
