D D, the ischiatic tuberosities, and the double folds of the nates.

In well-formed subjects, the anterior space is equiangular, the base being equal to each side; but according as the tuberosities approach the median line, the base becomes narrowed, and the triangle is thereby rendered acute.

Flexion of the leg to a right angle, increases the distance from the lines of insertion on the pelvic bones to the tuberosities of the tibia by two or three inches -- an amount of stretching these muscle cannot undergo.

The _tuberosities of the humerus_ form the convexity of the shoulder.

The posterior perinaeal space may be described on the surface by two lines drawn from D D, the ischiatic tuberosities, to C, the point of the coccyx, whilst the transverse line between D and D bounds it above.

Surgical Anatomy Joseph Maclise

It is not the head of the bone which is felt, but its prominences (the tuberosities).

A Practical Physiology Albert F. Blaisdell

A line drawn transversely across in front of the ischial tuberosities divides the perineum into a posterior or rectal, and an anterior or urogenital, triangle.

—In the antero-lateral boundaries of the perineum, the whole outline of the pubic arch can be readily traced ending in the ischial tuberosities.
