In surveys, leading questions can be very dangerous, because they can be formulated in a way that slants results, and the same holds true for questions used in media interviews. Some leading questions are assumptive, meaning that the questioner makes an assumption in the process of asking the questions.
The hip bone or os coxae, composed of the ilium, ischium, and pubis. It is united with the sacrum and coccyx by ligaments to form the pelvis. large flat bone formed by the fusion of the ilium, ischium, and pubis (in the adult), constituting the lateral half of the pelvis; it articulates with its fellow anteriorly, with the sacrum posteriorly, and with the femur laterally.
234 238) The pelvic girdle is formed by the paired os coxae (coxal bones). Together with the sacrum and coccyx of the axial skeleton, this group of bones forms the bony pelvis. The ability to bear weight is more important in the pelvic girdle than the pectoral girdle. Thus, the os coxae are heavy and massive with a firm attachment to the axial skeleton. Each os coxa is a result of the fusion of three bones: the ilium, ischium, and pubis. These three bones fuse at the deep hemispherical socket, the acetabulum, which receives the femur.
