Question
when seated, the weight of the body is borne by the
obturator foramina.
ischial tuberosities.
iliac crests.
posterior inferior iliac spines.
inferior rami of the pubis.
The ischial tuberosities are the bony projections on the ischium (part of the hip - bone). When seated, the weight of the body is borne by these structures. The obturator foramina are large openings in the hip - bone and do not support body weight when seated. The iliac crests are the upper borders of the ilium and are not weight - bearing during sitting. The posterior inferior iliac spines are not involved in weight - bearing when sitting. The inferior rami of the pubis are also not the structures that bear body weight when seated.
