  2. Pair of skeletal parts - Clavicle and glenoid cavity

    Category - Pelvic girdle

  3. Pair of skeletal parts - Humerus and ulna

    Category - Appendicular skeleton

  4. Pair of skeletal parts - Malleus and stapes

    Category - Ear ossicles


Correct Option: B

Acetabulum is located in:

  1. collar bone

  2. hip bone

  3. shoulder bone

Pelvic girdle consists of two coxal bones. Each coxal bone is formed by the fusion of three bones  (i), Ischium, and (ii) . At the point of fusion of the above bones, there is a cavity called (iii) to which the thigh bone articulates. The two halves of the pelvic girdle meet ventrally to form the pubic symphysis containing (iv) cartilage.

  1. (i) Clavicle (ii) Scapula (iii) Sternum (iv) Glenoid 

  2. (i) Ulna (ii) Radius (iii) Tarsal (iv) Acromion

  3. (i) Sacrum (ii) Scapula (iii) Clavicle (iv) Glenoid

  4. (i) Ilium (ii) Pubis (iv) Acetabulum (v) Fibrous


Correct Option: D

The coxal of the pelvic girdle is formed by the fusion by

  1. Ilium, ischium and pubis

  2. Scapula and clavicle

  3. Ilium and scapula

  4. Ilium, scapula and ischium

  5. Clavicle and pubis


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The hip bone or innominate bone or coxal bone is a large, flattened, irregularly shaped bone. It consists of three parts, the ilium, ischium, and pubis, which are fused in the adult.
