The acetabulum is formed by the parts of the ilium, ischium, and pubis. It is a deep socket that articulates with the head of the femur to form the hip joint. The obturator foramen is formed by the ischium and pubis, and is a passageway for nerves and blood vessels. The pubic arch is formed by the pubic bones and is wider in females than in males. The greater sciatic notch is a notch formed by the ilium and ischium, and allows for passage of the sciatic nerve.
