The Ilium,ischium,and Pubis

Question

The ilium,ischium,and pubis
A) are part of the appendicular skeleton.
B) are processes located on the femur.
C) are muscles that attach to the femur.
D) form the coxal bone.

Accepted Answer

The ilium, ischium, and pubis form the coxal bone, also known as the hip bone. Therefore, option D is correct. Option A is incorrect because while these bones are part of the appendicular skeleton, not all bones in the appendicular skeleton contribute to the formation of the hip bone. Option B is incorrect because these bones are not processes on the femur but are separate bones themselves. Option C is incorrect because these bones do not attach to the femur as muscles, but rather the femur attaches to the coxal bone at the hip joint.
