The iliac crest, pubis, and ischium are the bones that make up what?
  1. The sternum
  2. The jaw
  3. The pelvis
  4. The ankle
Explanation
Answer: C - The ilium, pubis, and ischium are sections of the pelvis. The iliac crests are the wings of the pelvis, the pubis is the inferior part where the two sides come together in front; the ischium is the inferior and posterior section, sometimes referred to as the “sitting bones.” The ilia are in the most superior position, and form the “spines” where you anchor your hands when palpating the pelvis. The other major component of the pelvis is the sacrum, a triangular bone at the back of the pelvis.
