Innominate Boneとは 意味・読み方・使い方

語源

A lateral view of a human innominate bone or hip bone.

An illustration of two innominate bones showing their location in the pelvis.

From innominate (“having no name, nameless, unnamed”, adjective) +‎ bone (noun), possibly a calque of Late Latin os innōminātum. It has been suggested that the bone “remains unnamed and unnameable” because it “is of so complex and irregular a form, that it bears no perceptible resemblance to any other known object”.

     On its sides, in the upper two-thirds of its extent, the sacrum is closely united to the two pelvic or innominate bones, which, together with it, enclose a basin or cavity, called the pelvis. Examined in early life, each innominate bone is seen to consist of three parts, which meet at the articular cup, called the acetabulum, for the head of the thigh bone.
