Hip bone is easily located through the skin. The iliac crest shows clear marks of the attachment of the three abdominal wall muscles. The ischium forms the lower and back part of the hip bone and is located below the ilium and behind the pubis. The ischium is the strongest of the three regions that form the hip bone. It is divisible into three portions: the body, the superior ramus, and the inferior ramus. The body forms approximately one-third of the acetabulum. The ischium forms a large swelling, the tuberosity of the ischium, also referred to colloquially as the "sit bone". When
Mastoid part of the temporal bone the innermost of the mastoid cells by a very thin lamina of bone, and even this may be partly deficient. The "superior border" of the mastoid part is broad and serrated, for articulation with the mastoid angle of the parietal. The "posterior border", also serrated, articulates with the inferior border of the occipital between the lateral angle and jugular process. Anteriorly the mastoid portion is fused with the descending process of the squama above; below it enters into the formation of the ear canal and the tympanic cavity. A section of the mastoid process shows it to be hollowed out
