Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The arcuate line is an imaginary line that separates the iliac fossa from the body of the ilium. The sacral promontory is a bony projection of the sacrum, the pectineal line is a ridge on the superior ramus of the pubic bone, and the inferior pubic ramus is a branch of the pubic bone that joins the ischium. None of these structures separate the iliac fossa from the body of the ilium.
