Question

There are three bones of the hip- ilium, ischium and pubis that come together to form a cavity called the ____________, for attachment of femur.

• A. Accordion
• B. Glenoid cavity
• C. Fibrocartilage
• D. acetabulum

Answer 1

The correct option is D

acetabulum

There are three bones of the coxae (hip bone) that come together to form the acetabulum. Contributing a little more than two-fifths of the structure is the ischium, which provides lower and side boundaries to the acetabulum. The ilium forms the upper boundary, providing a little less than two-fifths of the structure of the acetabulum. The rest is formed by the pubis, near the midline.
