Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that the hip bone, also known as the coxal bone, is part of the pelvic girdle.
Recognize that the pelvic girdle is composed of two hip bones, which are each formed by the fusion of three bones.
Identify the three bones that fuse to form each hip bone: the ilium, ischium, and pubis.
Differentiate these bones from other bones in the body, such as those in the thoracic cage (sternum, rib, vertebra) or the upper limb (scapula, clavicle, humerus).
Remember that the femur, tibia, and fibula are bones of the lower limb, not part of the pelvic girdle.
