WHAT DOES HIP MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Hip

In vertebrate anatomy, hip refers to either an anatomical region or a joint. The hip region is located lateral to the gluteal region, inferior to the iliac crest, and overlying the greater trochanter of the femur, or "thigh bone". In adults, three of the bones of the pelvis have fused into the hip bone which forms part of the hip region. The hip joint, scientifically referred to as the acetabulofemoral joint, is the joint between the femur and acetabulum of the pelvis and its primary function is to support the weight of the body in both static and dynamic postures. The hip joints are the most important part in retaining balance. The pelvic inclination angle, which is the single most important element of human body posture, is adjusted at the hips.

Definition of hip in the English dictionary

The definition of hip in the dictionary is either side of the body below the waist and above the thigh, overlying the lateral part of the pelvis and its articulation with the thighbones.
