The articular surface of the sacrum has which joint attached on its anterior aspect?
Correct Answer:
Sacroiliac joint auricular (anterior)
Explanation:
The anterior surface of the sacrum carries the sacral auricular surface that articulates with the ilium, forming the sacroiliac joint. This joint is the interface between the sacrum and the pelvic bone, allowing transfer of weight from the spine to the pelvis. The other options don’t fit: the hip joint involves the femoral head and acetabulum, the lumbar facet joints are between lumbar vertebrae, and the pubic symphysis is a midline cartilaginous joint between the pubic bones.
