Question

Identify the labelling a, b, c, d and e of pelvic girdle.

• A. a-pubis, b-acetabulum, c-ilium, d-ischium, e-pubic symphysis
• B. a-ilium, b-acetabulum, c-pubis, d-ischium, e-pubic symphysis
• C. a-ischium, b-acetabulum, c-pubis, d-ilium, e-pubic symphysis
• D. a-ilium, b-pubis, c-acetabulum, d-ubic symphysis, e-ischium
• E. a-ilium, b-acetabulum, c-pubic symphysis, d-ischium, e-pubis

Answer 1

The correct option is B a-ilium, b-acetabulum, c-pubis, d-ischium, e-pubic symphysis

• Pelvic girdle consists of two coxal bones. Each coxal bone is formed by the fusion of three bones – ilium (a), ischium (d)and pubis (c).
• At the point of fusion of the ilium,ischium and pubis there is a cavity called acetabulum (b) to which the thigh bone articulates.
• The two halves of the pelvic girdle meet ventrally to form the pubic symphysis (e) containing fibrous cartilage.
  
• So,the correct answer is 'a-ilium, b-acetabulum, c-pubis, d-ischium, e-pubic symphysis'.
