Answer 2

Ilium differ from Ischium:

• Ilium is one of the bones of the os innominatum of the pelvic girdle, just like ischium.
• Ilium is situated above the os innominatum, and the ischium is middle bone of the same.
• Ilium is the fan-shaped bone, forming the Superior part of the pelvic girdle, whereas the ischium forms the middle connection between the ilium and pubis.
• Ilium gives attachments to different muscles, but ischium, in addition, gives is the ischial tuberosity on which we sit.
