An Entity of Type: anatomical structure, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The ischial tuberosity (or tuberosity of the ischium, tuber ischiadicum), also known colloquially as the sit bones or sitz bones, or as a pair the sitting bones, is a large swelling posteriorly on the superior ramus of the ischium. It marks the lateral boundary of the pelvic outlet. When sitting, the weight is frequently placed upon the ischial tuberosity. The gluteus maximus provides cover in the upright posture, but leaves it free in the seated position. The distance between a cyclist's ischial tuberosities is one of the factors in the choice of a bicycle saddle.

dbo:abstract
  • La tuberosidad isquiática o promontorio del isquion o hueso de nalga es un abultamiento óseo del isquion, la parte inferior del hueso coxal. La tuberosidad del isquion se localiza en la porción superior y posterior de la rama de isquion y, junto con la punta del cóccix, forma la apertura inferior de la pelvis. Cuando un individuo se sienta, el peso corporal recae con frecuencia sobre la tuberosidad isquial.​ Este promontorio isquiático es palpable en la región glútea media, a la misma altura del trocánter mayor del fémur.​ (es)
