WHAT DOES ISCHIUM MEAN IN ENGLISH?

ischium

Ischium

The ischium forms the lower and back part of the hip bone. The word ischium dates back to c. 1640 B.C.E., from Greek ἰσχίον iskhion meaning "hip joint", in plural, "the hips", and most likely comes from ισχύς iskhys "loin", which is of unknown origin. Situated below the ilium and behind the pubis, it is one of these three bones whose fusion creates the coxa. The superior portion of this bone forms approximately one third of the acetabulum. It is divisible into three portions: ▪ Body of ischium - Contains a prominent spine which serves as the origin for gemellus superior. The indentation inferior to the spine is the lesser sciatic notch. Continuing down the posterior side, the ischial tuberosity is a thick, rough surfaced prominence below the lesser sciatic notch. This is the portion that supports weight while sitting. It can be felt simply by sitting on one’s fingers. Additionally, it serves as the origin for gemellus inferior and adductor magnus. ▪ Superior ramus of the ischium - Serves as a partial origin for obturator internus and obturator externus.
