1- Sacral promontaoy is the bony projection on the first saral vertebra of the sacrum present in posterior part of the female pelvis.
2-Ala of sacrum is the wing- like structure present on the lateral part of both left and right side of first sacral vertebra of the sacrum called Ala of the sacrum .
3-Sacroiliac joint– The sacroiliac joint is the joint between the sacrum and ilium is called sacroiliac joint.
–4- Iliopectineal line -When the arcuate line of ilium joins the pectineal line of pubis they together form the iliopectineal line of pubis .
5- Iliopectineal eminence –It is a bony prominence at the junction of the ilium and pubis where the arcuate line meets the pectineal line .
6- Superior ramus of the pubis bone -Pubis bone has two rami superior ramus and inferior ramus .superior ramus of the pubic bone that connects the the pubis with the ilium .
7- upper inner border of the pubic bones –The upper inner border of the pubis is the inner edge of the upper part of the pubic bone .
8- Upper inner border of the symphysis pubis -The upper inner border of the symphysis pubis is the uppermost inner edge of the joint where the right and left pubic bones meets .
