The pelvic girdle is formed by two hip bones which are joined ventrally at the cartilagenous '''pelvic symphysis''' and articulate dorsally with the sacrum. The three components of each hip bone are the [[Ilium - Anatomy and Physiology|Ilium]], [[Pubis - Anatomy & Physiology|pubis]] and [[Ischium - Anatomy & Physiology|ischium]].
