Question

In the pelvic girdle of man shown below, what does A, B, C, D and E respectively represent;

• 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 = llium, E = Pubic symphysis
• D. A = Ilium, B = Pubis, C = Acetabulum, D = Pubic symphysis, E = ischium

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, ischium and pubis. At the point of fusion of the above bones is a cavity called acetabulum to which the thigh bone articulates. The two halves of the pelvic girdle meet ventrally to form the pubic symphysis containing fibrous cartilage.
