Question

Which one of the following is the correct matching of three items and their group category?

• A. Ilium, Ischium, pubis - Coxal bones of pelvic girdle
• B. Femur, tibia, carpals - bones of hind limbs
• C. Humerus, clavicle, mandible - forelimb bones
• D. Malleus, incus, cochlea - Ear ossicles

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Ilium, Ischium, pubis - Coxal bones of pelvic girdle

The pelvic girdle is formed by two innominate bones (hip bones). Each innominate bone consists of three separate bones, ilium ischium, and pubis.

The mandible is not a bone of forelimb and carpals are not a bone of hind limb.

The three auditory ossicles – the malleus, incus, and stapes – are tiny bones found in the middle ear. The cochlea is a part of the inner ear.
