The ball structure that joins to the socket acetabulum.

Introduction:

The pelvic region consists of a pair of hip bones. These are attached to the femur bone. These are essential structures that connect the trunk of the body to the legs. The pelvic girdle is known to transfer the weight of the upper body to the legs. The three bones of the hip joint, namely ilium, ischium, and pubis, join during adulthood and form a triangular, suture-like structure known as the acetabulum.
