Question

Pelvic girdle consists of two coxal bones. Each coxal bone is formed by the fusion of three bones (i), Ischium, and (ii) . At the point of fusion of the above bones, there is a cavity called (iii) to which the thigh bone articulates. The two halves of the pelvic girdle meet ventrally to form the pubic symphysis containing (iv) cartilage.

• A. (i) Clavicle (ii) Scapula (iii) Sternum (iv) Glenoid
• B. (i) Ulna (ii) Radius (iii) Tarsal (iv) Acromion
• C. (i) Sacrum (ii) Scapula (iii) Clavicle (iv) Glenoid
• D. (i) Ilium (ii) Pubis (iv) Acetabulum (v) Fibrous

Answer 1

The correct option is D (i) Ilium (ii) Pubis (iv) Acetabulum (v) Fibrous

The hip boneor coxal bone is a large irregular bone, constricted in the center, and expanded above and below. It is composed of three parts: the ilium, ischium, and the pubis.

The acetabulum(cotyloid cavity) is a concave surface of the pelvis. The head of the femur meets with the pelvis at the acetabulum, forming the hip joint.

The joint of the pubic symphysis is made up of fibrocartilage.

So, the correct answer is D.
