7.3 Essay Questions

1) What is the significance of the more massive pelvic bones compared to those of the pectoral
girdle and the strong bone-to-bone attachments of the pelvic girdle of the lower extremity to the
axial skeleton?
Answer: The almost immobile joint between the auricular surfaces of the sacrum and the iliac
region of the coxal bones occurs at the posterior and medial aspects of the ilium, forming the
sacroiliac joint. The anterior and medial portions of the hip bones are connected by a pad of
fibrous cartilage at the pubic symphysis. An extensive network of ligaments also binds the ilia to
the posterior lumbar vertebrae. This ensures that the weight from the upper part of the body will
be able to pass through the lower limb to the ground efficiently. The composition of the pelvic
girdle also facilitates the lower limbs' function in locomotion.

2) Imagine you are a forensic osteologist teaching a course on differentiating the male skeleton
from the female skeleton. Justify the reasoning that the pelvis is the best area to examine.
Answer: The shape of the female pelvis is somewhat different from that of the male pelvis.
Some of these differences are the result of variations in body size and muscle mass. Because
women are typically less muscular than men, the pelvis of the adult female is usually smoother
and lighter and has less prominent markings where muscles or ligaments attach. Other
differences are adaptations for childbearing. These adaptations support the weight of the
developing fetus and uterus, and ease the passage of the newborn through the pelvic outlet at the
time of delivery.
Learning Outcome: 7.2
Bloom's Taxonomy: 5-6: Evaluating/Creating

3) How can the age of a skeleton be determined?

Answer: There are general changes in the skeletal system that occur as one ages. Such changes
begin at age 3 months and continue throughout life. For example, fusion of the epiphyseal
cartilages begins at about age 3, while degenerative changes in the normal skeletal system, such
as a reduction in mineral content in the bony matrix do not begin until age 30-45. In addition,
with age there is a reduction in the size of the intervertebral discs, and a fusion of pectoral and
pelvic girdles.
