PELVIC SYMPHYSIS

Ox

• It is amphiarthrosis formed between the pubis and ischia of the two sides.
• The intervening cartilage gets ossified with increasing age.
• The obturator foramen is covered in life by the obturator membrane called obturator ligament, leaving a space in front for the passage of the tendon of the obturator internus muscle and the obturator nerve.

Horse & Dog

• No difference.
