Changes in Pelvic Girdle due to assumption of Erect Posture:- When an individual stands erect, his whole body weight is to be transmitted on the hind legs through pelvic girdle. Therefore the pelvis plays a great role in getting an erect posture and naturally had experienced a number of changes.
Answer:
The pelvic girdle (hip girdle) is formed by a single bone, the hip bone or coxal bone (coxal = “hip”), which serves as the attachment point for each lower limb. Each hip bone, in turn, is firmly joined to the axial skeleton via its attachment to the sacrum of the vertebral column. The right and left hip bones also converge anteriorly to attach to each other. The bony pelvis is the entire structure formed by the two hip bones, the sacrum, and, attached inferiorly to the sacrum, the coccyx.
