Ilium
The ilium (plural: ilia) is one of the three bony components of the innominate bone: ilium, ischium, and pubis. These are individual bones in the immature skeleton which fuse to form one bone in adults, the principal union being in the acetabulum.
The ilium is not to be confused with the ileum:...
Article
Pubis
The pubis, together with the ilium and ischium, make up the innominate bone of the pelvis. These are individual bones in the young and unite to form one bone in adults, the principal union forming the fused acetabulum.
The pubis is the ventral part of the innominate bone and forms a median cart...
