Question

the side of the body between the ribs and ilium is the ______.
○ a. knee
○ b. pastern
○ c. poll
○ d. flank

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option a (knee) is a joint in the leg, not between ribs and ilium.
• Option b (pastern) is part of a horse's leg, irrelevant here.
• Option c (poll) refers to the top of the head (e.g., in animals), not the side of the body.
• Option d (flank) is defined as the side of the body between the ribs and the ilium (hip bone), matching the description.

Answer:

d. flank
