Question
the coxal bone forms by the fusion of which components?
the acetabulum, femoral head, and pubis
the obturator, ilium, and acromion
the ala, ilium, and capitulum
the ilium, ischium, and pubis
the sacrum, coccyx, and acetabulum
The coxal (hip) bone develops from three separate pelvic bones that fuse together during skeletal maturation. The acetabulum is the socket part of the hip joint formed by the fusion of these three bones, while other listed structures like femoral head, acromion, capitulum, sacrum, and coccyx are separate bones or parts of other bones not involved in coxal bone fusion.
