Which structure involves involuntary mobility between the ilia as part of PRM?

• A. Sacrum
• B. Mandible
• C. Clavicle
• D. Hyoid bone

Answer: (A)

Involuntary mobility between the two ilia is provided by the sacrum at the sacroiliac joints. The sacrum sits between the ilia and forms joints with each ilium, allowing small, physiological motion (nutation and counternutation) that lets the pelvic halves move slightly relative to each other without conscious control. This sacral–iliac mechanism is what enables the subtle bilateral pelvic mobility referenced in PRM. The other structures are not between the ilia and do not mediate this pelvic motion.
