Materials Needed:
- Skeletal models or specimens of the pelvic girdle (os coxae, sacrum, coccyx)
- Labels or markers
- Notebooks and pens
Procedure:
Introduction: The significance of pelvic girdle in providing support to the body, protecting pelvic organs, and serving as a point of attachment for lower limb muscles.
Observation and Identification:
Carefully observe the pelvic girdle and identify its key components, including:
- Hip bones: ilium, ischium, pubis
- Sacrum
- Coccyx
Note the shape, size, and overall structure of the pelvic girdle.
Description: Once the bones are identified by the key features, describe each feature in detail. This can include:
Hip Bone
- Ilium: crest, anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS), posterior superior iliac spine (PSIS), acetabulum
- Ischium: ischial tuberosity, ischial spine
- Pubis: pubic symphysis, pubic tubercle
- Sacrum: sacral promontory, sacral canal, sacral foramina
- Coccyx: number of coccygeal vertebrae, coccygeal cornua
Observe the articulations between different components and their functional significance.
Discussion and Conclusion:
The importance of understanding the pelvic girdle anatomy in fields such as anatomy, obstetrics, and orthopedics.Safety Precautions: Handle skeletal models or specimens with care to avoid damage.
