Pre-Lab Questions Select the correct answer for each ofthe following questions:
1. The two hip (coxal) bones articulate anteriorly at the
- acetabulum.
- pubic arch.
- sacroiliac joint.
- pubic symphysis.

Introduction:
The hip bone or the coxal bone is a big and irregular bone. It is narrow in the center and is expanded from below and above. In some vertebrates, including humans before puberty, it consists of 3 parts: the ilium, ischium, and the pubis. At the time of birth, the 3 bones are separated from each other by the hyaline cartilage. In the acetabulum, they are joined with each other by forming a Y-shaped portion of the cartilage.
Answer to Problem 1PL
The correct answer is option (d) pubic symphysis.
Explanation of Solution
Explanation/justification for the correct answer:
Option (d) pubic symphysis.
The 2 hip bones are joined at the points which is known as the pubic symphysis. The pubic symphysis is a cartilaginous joint which joins the right and left superior rami of the pubic bones. The analysis of the pelvis explains that the pubic symphysis works as arches. It also helps to transfer the upright trunk weight to the hips from the sacrum. The symphysis pubis also joins these 2 weight-carrying arches, and the pelvic region, which is surrounded by the ligaments to maintain the mechanical integrity. Specifically, it is found in the front of the bladder and above the external genitalia. During birth and pregnancy, the pubic symphysis around which ligaments are found become flexible, that’s why the child can pass through without any difficulty or complications.
So, the correct answer is option (d).
Explanation for incorrect answer:
Option (a) acetabulum.
At the acetabulum, the head of the femur meets with the pelvis and thus forms the hip joint. The acetabulum is a concave surface of a pelvis. So, this is an incorrect answer.
Option (b) pubis arch.
The pubic arch is also known as the ischiopubic arch. It is a part of the pelvis. It is one of the 3 notches, and the one in front that separates the lower portion of the true pelvis. So, this is an incorrect answer.
Option (c) sacroiliac joint.
In humans, the sacrum supports the spine . The SI joint (SIJ) or sacroiliac joint is the joint between the ilium bones of the pelvis and the sacrum . They are connected by strong ligaments. The joint is strong enough and gives support to the entire upper body weight. So, this is an incorrect answer.
At the pubic symphysis, the 2 hip (coxal) bones articulate anteriorly.

Some changes may make it difficult to consume a healthful diet, so it is important to identify strategies to help overcome these obstacles. From the list below, choose all the correct statements about changes in older adults. Select all that apply. Poor vision can make it difficult for older adults to get to a supermarket, and to prepare meals. With age, taste and visual perception decline. As people age, salivary production increases. In older adults with dysphagia, foods like creamy soups, applesauce, and yogurt are usually well tolerated. Lean body mass increases in older adults.arrow_forward
- When physical activity increases, energy requirements increase also. Depending on the type, intensity, and duration of physical activity, the body’s requirements for certain macronutrients may change as well. From the list below, choose all the correct statements about the effects of increased physical activity or athletic training. Select all that apply. An athlete who weighs 70 kg (154 lb) should consume 420 to 700 g of carbohydrate per day. How much additional energy an athlete needs depends on the specific activity the athlete engages in and the frequency of the activity. Those participating in vigorous exercise should restrict their fat intake to less than 15%% of total energy intake. Athletes who are following energy-restricted diets are at risk for consuming insufficient protein. The recommendation to limit saturated fat intake to less than 10%% of total energy intake does not apply to athletes or those who regularly engage in vigorous physical activity.arrow_forwardWhen taking vitamins and vitamin-mineral supplements, how can one be sure they are getting what they are taking?arrow_forwardHow many milligrams of zinc did you consume on average per day over the 3 days?
