See also: Human pelvis
The pelvis, derived from the Latin word for 'basin', is an anatomical structure found in most vertebrates including the human hip. It contains a large compound bone structure at the base of the spine, which is connected with the legs or rear limbs. This bony structure is called the pelvis skeleton or bony pelvis, and consists of os coxa, sacrum and coccyx.
The synsacrum is a skeletal structure, mainly described in birds and dinosaurs.
