What is the difference between pelvic and scapula?
The pelvis and scapula are both bones in the human body, but they have different functions and locations.
Pelvis:
* Located at the base of the spine.
* Composed of three bones: the ilium, ischium, and pubis.
* Forms the hip joint and supports the internal organs.
* Protects the bladder, rectum, and reproductive organs.
* Provides attachment points for muscles and ligaments.
Scapula:
* Located at the back of the shoulder.
* Also known as the shoulder blade.
* Forms the shoulder joint with the humerus (upper arm bone).
* Provides attachment points for muscles and ligaments.
* Helps to protect the lungs and heart.
In summary, the pelvis is located at the base of the spine and supports the internal organs, while the scapula is located at the back of the shoulder and helps to form the shoulder joint.
