question 15
2 pts
which component forms the superior part of the hip bone?
ilium
ischium
pubis
sacrum

Explanation:

• For the first question:
• The radius bone is on the lateral (thumb - side) of the forearm.
• It does not articulate with metacarpal bones (carpal bones do). The radial tuberosity is near the proximal end. The head of the radius articulates with the radial notch of the ulna, not the olecranon process.
• For the second question:
• The ilium forms the superior part of the hip bone. The ischium is the inferior - posterior part, the pubis is the anterior part, and the sacrum is a separate bone that articulates with the hip bone but is not a component of the hip bone itself.

Answer:

• First question: is found on the lateral side of the forearm
• Second question: Ilium
