Exempel på acetabulum

• A ridge extends anteriorly from the lateral side of each acetabulum up to the anterior iliac processes.

• Three orientations of muscle fibres (equatorial, meridional, radial) were discernible in the oral sucker, acetabulum and paired lappets.

• The posterior process of the ilium is moderately developed and ventrally bears a strong ridge, and the acetabulum is deeply concave.

• In fixed cercariae, the acetabulum lies just behind the centre of the body and two eyespots are located in the anterior third between the head organ and the protrusible acetabulum.

• The acetabula are shallow, and posterior to them is a prominent tubercle, positioned between the posterior edge of the supraacetabular process and anterior part of the posterior iliac process.

• The femur connects at the acetabulum of the pelvis and projects laterally before angling medially and inferiorly to form the knee.

• The neck of the femur is generally minimal or absent in the most primitive forms, reflecting a simple attachment to the acetabulum.

• Both hip resurfacing and hip replacement require that a cup is placed in the acetabulum of the hip socket.

• Located in the medioanterior of the body is the acetabulum.

• Then contraction of the radial muscle of the acetabulum causes detachment of the entire sucker.

• When the sucker attaches itself on an object, the infundibulum maily provides adhesion while the central acetabulum is quite free.

• Both these structures are thick muscles, and the acetabulum is speficially composed of radial muscles.

• The cuplike acetabulum forms at the union of three pelvic bones the ilium, pubis, and ischium.

• Articular cartilage covers the concave area of acetabulum, providing more stability and shock absorption.

• This would involve replacing both the acetabulum (hip socket) and the head and neck of the femur.
