The pelvic girdle does not include the sacrum and coccyx, which are part of the axial skeleton.
Nope, it's part of the appendicular skeleton.
The radius is part of the appendicular skeleton, which includes the bones of the limbs, shoulder girdle, and pelvic girdle.
The appendicular skeleton includes the bones of the limbs (arms and legs), the shoulder girdle, and the pelvic girdle. It provides support and facilitates movement of the body.
NO
The two main parts of the skeleton are the axial skeleton and the appendicular skeleton. The axial skeleton consists of the skull, vertebral column, and rib cage, while the appendicular skeleton includes the bones of the limbs, shoulder girdle, and pelvic girdle.
Yes, the calcaneus is considered part of the appendicular skeleton. It is the largest bone in the foot and is located in the hindfoot, contributing to the structure and support of the foot and ankle.
no
The pelvic girdle is a ring-like bony structure in the lower part of the trunk, formed by the hip bones (ilium, ischium, and pubis) and sacrum. It connects the spine to the lower limbs and provides support for the body's weight. The pelvic girdle also protects and houses internal organs in the pelvic cavity.
No, the appendicular skeleton does not include the parts that support and protect the head, neck, and trunk. The appendicular skeleton consists of the bones of the upper and lower limbs, including the shoulder girdle and pelvic girdle. The parts that support and protect the head, neck, and trunk are part of the axial skeleton.
The joint between the axial skeleton (specifically the sacrum) and the pelvic girdle is called the sacroiliac joint. This joint connects the spine to the hip bones and is important for weight-bearing and transferring forces between the upper body and lower body. The sacroiliac joint is a synovial joint with limited mobility, providing stability to the pelvis during activities such as walking and standing.
The obturator foramen is a large opening in the pelvic bone that allows for the passage of blood vessels and nerves to the lower limb. It is also an attachment site for muscles that help stabilize the hip joint.
