Detailed explanation-1: -In discussing the pelvis, a distinction can be made between the “pelvic spine” and the “pelvic girdle.” The pelvic girdle, also known as the os coxae, Latin for “bone of the hip, ‘’ consists of the fused bones identified individually as the ilium, ischium, and pubis.
Detailed explanation-2: -The correct answer is Incus. The hip bones on the right and left sides together form a pelvic girdle. Incus is one of the three bones in the middle ear.
Detailed explanation-3: -The pelvis consists of four bones: the right and left hip bones, the sacrum, and the coccyx (see Figure 1). The pelvis has several important functions. Its primary role is to support the weight of the upper body when sitting and to transfer this weight to the lower limbs when standing.
Detailed explanation-4: -The hip joint is the junction where the hip joins the leg to the trunk of the body. It is comprised of two bones: the thigh bone or femur and the pelvis which is made up of three bones called ilium, ischium, and pubis. The ball of the hip joint is made by the femoral head while the socket is formed by the acetabulum.
