Question

The coxal bone of the pelvic girdle is formed by the fusion of?

• A. Ilium, ischium and pubis
• B. Scapula and clavicle
• C. Ilium and scapula
• D. Ilium, scapula and ischium

Answer 1

The correct option is A Ilium, ischium and pubis

A. Ilium, ischium and pubis

Reason: The hip bone or innominate bone or coxal bone is a large, flattened, irregularly shaped bone. It is made up of three parts, the ilium, ischium, and pubis, which are fused in the adult. Ilium is the largest of three bones that make up each half of the pelvic girdle. The ischium is the most posterior part while the pubis is the anterior-most part of the three pelvic bones.
