A pair of flat bones that form the left and right walls of the pelvis. Formerly written as 臗 (as described in the "New Book of Anatomy"), it meant "wide bone". In its old Latin name, it was called "innominate bone" or "bone without window". Its current Latin scientific name Os coxae means "hip bone" or "thigh bone". The hip bone was originally formed by the fusion of three bones: the ilium, ischium, and pubis. These three bones are connected to each other by cartilage until about the age of 16 to 17, but after that, they are completely fused and become one hip bone. The ilium occupies the upper half of the hip bone, and is a flat part that spreads out like a fan, and the upper part of its inner surface mainly supports the intestines. The ischium is connected to the lower part at the back, and the pubis is connected to the lower part at the front. When sitting on a chair, the protruding part of the bone that touches the surface of the chair is a thickened part called the ischial tuberosity. The ischium and pubic bone are connected by the inferior ramus of the ischium and inferior ramus of the pubic bone, forming the obturator foramen. The joint between the three bones is located in the acetabulum, a bowl-shaped depression located almost in the center of the outer surface of the hip bone. The femoral head contacts the acetabulum to form the hip joint.

骨盤の左右壁をつくる1対の扁平骨(へんぺいこつ)をいう。古くは臗(『解体新書』での記載)と書き、「広い骨」の意味であった。古いラテン名では「無名骨」とか「窓のない骨」とよんだ。現在のラテン語学名Os coxaeは「腰の骨」とか「股(また)の骨」の意味をもつ。寛骨は、元来は腸骨、坐骨(ざこつ)、恥骨の3個の骨が癒合してできたものである。この3個の骨は、16~17歳くらいまでは互いに軟骨によって結合しているが、それ以後は完全に化骨癒合し、1個の寛骨となる。腸骨は寛骨の上半部を占め、扇状に広がった扁平状の部分で、この内側面上部はおもに腸を支える。坐骨はその後下部、恥骨は前下部につながる部分である。椅子(いす)に座ったとき、椅子面に接する出っ張った骨の部分は坐骨結節という肥厚部である。坐骨と恥骨とは坐骨下枝と恥骨下枝とによって結合し、閉鎖孔をつくっている。3個の骨の結合部は寛骨外面のほぼ中央部にある椀(わん)状のくぼみである寛骨臼(きゅう)のなかにあたる。寛骨臼には大腿骨頭(だいたいこっとう)が接し股関節(こかんせつ)を構成している。 [嶋井和世] [参照項目] | |©Shogakukan"> 骨盤の各部名称と性別による差異 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
