Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The raised line described in the question is the pectineal line, which extends superiorly and laterally along the superior ramus of the pubis and eventually merges with the arcuate line of the ilium. The ischial tuberosity is a bony prominence in the posterior part of the pelvic bone. The anterior and inferior gluteal lines are raised lines on the ilium that serve as attachment sites for muscles of the hip and thigh. The greater sciatic notch is a large notch on the posterior aspect of the hip bone that allows for the passage of nerves and blood vessels. None of these options accurately describe the raised line in the question.
