The correct Answer is:
To determine whether the statement "Glenoid cavity is present in pelvic girdle while acetabulum is present in pectoral girdle" is true or false, we can analyze the components mentioned in the question. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Structures**: - The glenoid cavity and acetabulum are both important anatomical features related to the girdles in the human body. 2. **Locate the Glenoid Cavity**: - The glenoid cavity is a shallow socket located in the scapula (shoulder blade) which forms part of the pectoral girdle. It articulates with the head of the humerus, allowing for a wide range of motion in the shoulder joint. 3. **Locate the Acetabulum**: - The acetabulum is a cup-shaped socket found in the pelvic girdle. It is where the head of the femur (thigh bone) fits, forming the hip joint. 4. **Evaluate the Statement**: - The statement claims that the glenoid cavity is in the pelvic girdle, which is incorrect. The glenoid cavity is in the pectoral girdle. - The statement also claims that the acetabulum is in the pectoral girdle, which is also incorrect. The acetabulum is in the pelvic girdle. 5. **Conclusion**: - Since both parts of the statement are incorrect, we conclude that the entire statement is **False**. ### Final Answer: **False**
