joint formed by sacrum and ilium | sacroiliac |
structure of lower arm bones that articulates with carpals | styloid process |
medial bone of lower leg | tibia |
shallow, basin-like, less curved sacrum & coccyx, great than 90 degree pelvic angle | characteristics of female pelvis |
deeper, more curved sacrum/coccyx, less than 90 degree pelvic angle | characteristics of male pelvis |
cartilage joint between the os coxae of the pelvis; loosens during childbirth | symphysis pubis |
the elbow; proximal, posterior projection on the ulna | olecranon process |

medial condyle of the humerus | trochlea |
the "socket" of the shoulder joint; found on the scapula | glenoid fossa |
the lateral bone of the forarm; rotates; does not articulate with the humerus | radius |
proximal, anterior projection on the ulna that articulates with the humerus during flexion | coronoid process |
distal, anterior depression on the humerus that articulates with the ulna during flexion | coronoid fossa |
