Question

Consider the diagram given below. Parts labeled as (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) respectively indicate

• A. Ilium, femur, tibia, pubis and sacrum
• B. Pubis, femur, tibia, ilium and sacrum
• C. Pubis, tibia, femur, ilium and sacrum
• D. Pubis, femur, ilium tibia, and sacrum

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Pubis, femur, tibia, ilium and sacrum

These are some of the bones of the hip and the lower limb. There are 30 bones in each lower limb. These are the femur, patella, tibia, fibula, seven tarsal bones, five metatarsal bones, and 14 phalanges. The adult hip bone is formed by the fusion of the ilium, the ischium, and the pubis, which occurs by the end of the teenage years. The 2 hip bones form the bony pelvis, along with the sacrum and the coccyx, and are united anteriorly by the pubic symphysis.
