Correct answer
C. Acetabulum
Step-by-step solution
The pelvic girdle consists of two coxal bones. The point of fusion of the three bones that form the coxal bone is a cavity called acetabulum. Joints are essential for all types of movements involving the bony parts of the body. Locomotory movements are no exception to this. Force generated by the muscles is used to carry out movement through joints.Fibrous joints are joints in which bones are held together by fibrous connective tissue. They are usually immovable or slightly movable..The human body consists of 206 bones in total. These bones are grouped into two main divisions - the axial skeleton and the appendicular skeleton. The skull is composed of two sets of bones, cranial and facial, that total to 22 bones.Each vertebra has a central hollow portion (neural canal) through which the spinal cord passes. The vertebral column is differentiated into cervical (7), thoracic (12), lumbar (5), sacral (1-fused) and coccygeal (1-fused) regions.
