Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the anatomy of the coxal bone, which is part of the pelvic girdle and consists of three main parts: the ilium, ischium, and pubis.
Recognize that the ischium is the lower and back part of the hip bone, which forms the base of the pelvis.
Identify that the ischium has a prominent feature called the ischial tuberosity, which is the part of the pelvis that bears weight when sitting.
Differentiate between the ilium, which is the uppermost and largest part of the hip bone, and the pubis, which is located at the front of the pelvic girdle.
Conclude that the ischium, specifically the ischial tuberosity, is commonly referred to as the bone that we sit on due to its anatomical position and function.
