Solution

  1. True - The pelvic girdle is attached more firmly to the body than the pectoral girdle. This is because it bears more weight and is involved in activities such as walking, running, and standing.

  2. False - The bones of the pelvic girdle are generally thicker and heavier, not lighter, due to the weight-bearing function they perform. They are not necessarily longer than those of the upper limb.

  3. False - The right and left hip bones join each other anteriorly and the sacrum posteriorly to form the pelvic girdle. The coccyx is the tailbone, located at the base of the sacrum.
