Exploring the Pelvic Girdle: Anatomy and Structure Quiz

The pelvis is commonly known as Os Coxa or the Coxal bone, while Femur, Clavicle, and Scapula are different bones in the human body.

The pubic symphysis is the joint connecting the two pubic bones at the front of the pelvis. The sacrum, coccyx, and ilium are also parts of the pelvis, but they are not located at the front where the pubic symphysis is.

The acetabulum is the cup-shaped socket in the pelvic bone where the femur (thigh bone) forms the hip joint.

The iliac crest is the prominent upper border of the pelvic bone, specifically the ilium. It can be easily palpated on the sides of the body.

The correct term for this pelvic structure is the anterior superior iliac spine, which is a bony projection located at the front of the ilium, or hip bone. The sacrum, ischium, and pubic bone are also parts of the pelvic structure but not specifically referring to the anterior superior iliac spine.

The ilium is one of the three bones that make up the pelvis along with the pubis and ischium. The sacrum is a separate bone located below the lumbar vertebrae.

The correct answer is the posterior inferior iliac spine, which is a prominent bony projection on the posterior aspect of the iliac bone. The sacrum, pubic symphysis, and acetabulum are other important structures in the pelvic region but they are not the specific structure being referred to in this question.

The correct answer refers to the specific area within the pelvis known as the Lesser Sciatic Notch, which is distinct from the other options provided.

The anterior inferior iliac spine is a specific bony landmark on the pelvis, while the sacrum, ischial tuberosity, and pubic symphysis are other parts of the pelvic structure.

The posterior superior iliac spine is a bony projection located at the posterior end of the iliac crest. The sacroiliac joint, pubic symphysis, and ischial tuberosity are also important pelvic structures but not specifically referred to as the posterior superior iliac spine.

The bony pelvis is the correct term used to collectively refer to the bones that make up the pelvis. The incorrect answers either focus on individual parts of the pelvis or related bones.

The Greater Sciatic Notch is a key structure in the pelvis that allows for the passage of nerves and blood vessels. The other options are either incorrect structures or parts of the pelvis that do not directly relate to the question.

The Iliac Fossa is a large, smooth, concave surface on the internal side of the hip bone. It is one of the major areas of the pelvis.
