The clavicle is the constituent of pectoral griddle or shoulder gridle. It is called as collar bone which serves as a rigid support from which the scapula and free limb suspended. It is an arrangement that keeps the upper limb away from the thorax so that the arm has maximum range of movement. So, the correct answer is 'pectoral gridle'.

Os Innominatum is a large irregular bone that forms the bony pelvis. Os-innominatum is also called as hip bone. Each pelvic girdle is made of a pair of hip bones which are identical with each other and each made of pubis, ilium and ischium. So, the correct answer is 'os innominatum'.

• Pelvic girdle consists of two coxal bones. Each coxal bone is formed by the fusion of three bones i.e each half of pelvic girdle is made up of ilium, ischium, and pubis.
  
•  At the point of fusion of the ilium, ischium and pubis bones there is a cavity called acetabulum to which the thigh bone (femur) articulates. Hence ilium is the part of pelvic girdle.
• So,the correct answer is 'Pelvic girdle'.

The pelvic girdle is formed by a pair of bone which is the hip bone or coxal bone. The large opening in the anteroinferior hip bone between the ischium and pubis is the obturator foramen through which nerves and blood vessels pass. So, the correct answer is 'Pelvic girdle'.

Each pelvic girdle is composed of two hip bones. Pubic symphasis is a specialized joint where the pubis of one hip bone joins with the pubis of opposite hip bone. So the two halves of pelvic girdle are joined together by pubic symphasis. So, the correct answer is 'Pectoral girdle'. 

• The bones of the limbs(forelimb and hindlimb) along with their girdles (pectoral and pelvic) constitute the appendicular skeleton.
  
• The bones of the hind limb are femur (thigh bone – the longest bone), tibia and fibula, tarsals (ankle bones – 7 in number), metatarsals (5 in number) and phalanges (digits – 14 in number). Hence number of bones in the hind limb of human is 30.
• So, the correct answer is '30'.

The pelvic girdle consists of paired hip bones each is made up of three bones which are ilium, ischium and pubis. These three bones unite in early adulthood at a triangular suture in the acetabulum and form the cup-shaped socket that forms the hip joint with the head of the femur (thigh bone). So, the correct answer is 'Ileum, ischium and pubis'.

• Pelvic girdle consists of two coxal bones. Each coxal bone is formed by the fusion of three bones i.e each half of pelvic girdle is made up of ilium, ischium, and pubis.
  
•  At the point of fusion of the ilium, ischium and pubis bones there is a cavity called acetabulum to which the thigh bone(femur) articulates. Hence acetabulum is a part of the pelvic girdle.
• So, the correct answer is 'Pelvic girdle'.

The pelvic girdle consists of a single pair of bones, called hip bones. They are connected at the front by cartilage called the pubic symphysis and they are attached to the sacrum at the back. Each hip bone is made up of three bones which are ilium, ischium and pubis. So, the correct answer is 'Pelvic girdle'.
