Pelvis

Chapter 1: Introduction The bony pelvis is consisting of 4 bones which are 2 os coxae or innominate bones, 1 sacrum and 1 coccyx. According to Applegate, E. J. (2010), the term pelvis is used to describe large bony structure at the base of the spine which the lower limbs and many other vertebrates are attached to it. Thus, pelvis is applied to the bony that formed by the coccyx, the sacrum and the two hip bones which are called as the bony pelvis. The term of pelvis also can consider as the cavity

The sex of the individual is believed to be a male. The Pelvis bone is a major benefactor in the determination of the sex. For the remains found, some qualitative observations were made for the Pelvis. The Pelvic Cavity Shape seemed to resemble a ‘heart-shape’, showing sacrum and coccyx. Some qualitative observations on the Pelvis are the Greater Sciatic Notch, Pubis body width, and Sub-pubic angle. The Greater sciatic notch was 62 mm. The Pubis body width was 15 mm. The Sub-pubic angle was 70.1

are the skull and the pelvis. In order to establish that the remains are males, the skull presents with a large and prominent inion process; large, rugose, and robust mastoid process; large, prominent, and rough frontal ridges; large, squared, and angular dentition; v shape dental arch; squared and prominent anteriorly chin shape (Skeleton tells its Own Story). While the females are the opposite. As mentioned before, the pelvis can also determine the sex of the person. The pelvis of the males are more

INTRODUCTION Introduction: According to the latest information from the WHO (World Health Organization) and CDC (Center of Disease Control), more than nine people die every minute from injuries or violence, and 5.8 million people of all ages and economic groups die every year from unintentional injuries and violence. The burden of injury is even more significant, accounting for 12% of the world’s burden of disease (Cannon et al., 2014). Penetrating abdominal trauma, including low and high velocity

Through research it has been determined that evolution is a part of nature, and organisms become more complex over time. As organisms become more complex their characteristics begin to change, and aspects that are beneficial for their survival become prominent in their offspring. However, characteristics that are not beneficial to their survival begins to fade as organism evolve. From this arise Charles Darwin’s theory that evolution occurs because of natural selection, expressing that organisms

to conduct a search of Mr Leonard Wills’ house and garden after his suicide. During the search an oil drum was uncovered, located beneath an ornamental pond. Inside the oil drum a number of black bags (4) were discovered each encompassing a skull, pelvis, and femur. The police are working with the rational that each bag contains the remnants of one person. Aims: The practical aims to establish a minimum number of individuals at the crime scene, a biological profile for each victim and the possible

estimation due to the fact that people age differently which also allows for more variation making the estimation intervals much larger (Adams, 2009). In adults, age can be estimated through the study of different parts of the thoracic cage and the pelvis. The first part of interest is the medial clavicle. Age is determined through the study of the epiphyseal fusion. The epiphysis in those bones is the last to fuse and usually starts between the ages of 18 and 25. When the medial clavicle is fully
