question 34
the hip joint is also known as the:
○ sacrofemoral joint
○ sacroiliac joint
○ humerofemoral joint
○ iliofemoral joint
The hip joint is formed between the acetabulum of the ilium (part of the pelvis) and the femur. The term "iliofemoral" combines "ilio-" (referring to the ilium) and "femoral" (referring to the femur), accurately describing the hip joint. The sacroiliac joint is between the sacrum and ilium (not the hip joint), the sacrofemoral joint is not the correct term for the hip, and the humerofemoral joint would involve the humerus (upper arm bone), which is not part of the hip joint.
