Preferred Label : body of ilium;
Uberon definition : The body of ilium enters into the formation of the acetabulum, of which it forms rather
less than two-fifths. Its external surface is partly articular, partly non-articular;
the articular segment forms part of the lunate surface of the acetabulum, the non-articular
portion contributes to the acetabular fossa. The internal surface of the body is part
of the wall of the lesser pelvis and gives origin to some fibers of the Obturator
internus. Below, it is continuous with the pelvic surfaces of the ischium and pubis,
only a faint line indicating the place of union.;
