*'''[[Ischium - Anatomy & Physiology|Ischium]]'''
The Ischium can be divided into three main sections:
* The '''body'''
** Is part of the acetabulum
** The dorsal border is continuous with that of the ilium forming the '''ischiatic spine'''; this tapers towards the lesser sciatic notch.
* The '''caudal plate'''
** Extends cranially into the symphysial and acetabular branches, which form the caudal borders of the '''obturator foramen'''.
** The caudal section is thickened forming the '''ischial tuberosity'''. This is a visible landmark in most animals.
** The medial caudal borders meet in a concave fashion forming a broad and deep notch called the '''ischial arch'''.
* The '''medial branch'''
** This forms the caudal section of the pelvic symphysis
