The sockets of the heads of the femurs are reinforced by ligaments, and what do they provide in regards to attachment?

Stable, strong limb attachment

7

Is the ability to bear weight more important at the shoulder girdle or the pelvic girdle?

Pelvic girdle

8

The combined weight of the upper body rests on which type of girdle?

Pelvic girdle

9

Each hip bone is the fusion of what 3 bones?

Pubic symphysis

16

Which joint is a common site of lower back problems?

Sacroiliac joint

17

Why is the sacroiliac joint such a common site of lower back problems?

1. Sacrum

2. Coccyx

36

What feature of the pelvis and what feature of the pelvic girdle can dramatically narrow the outlet and why?
