The hip bones articulate with each other at the pubic symphysis, which is a cartilaginous joint located where the left and right pubic bones meet at the front of the body.

Question 2

Question 3

Extension (or straightening)of the elbow stops when the proximal end of the ulna encounters the .&#10;A)coronoid fossa of the humerus&#10;B)medial epicondyle of the humerus&#10;C)trochlea of the humerus&#10;D)olecranon fossa of the humerus

Accepted Answer

Extension of the elbow stops when the proximal end of the ulna encounters the olecranon fossa of the humerus. This anatomical feature allows for the limitation of the elbow's extension movement, preventing hyperextension and potential injury.

Question 4

This part of the coxal bone bears your weight when you sit.&#10;A)inferior ramus of the pubis&#10;B)ischial tuberosity&#10;C)iliac fossa&#10;D)ischial ramus

Accepted Answer

The ischial tuberosity is the part of the coxal (hip) bone that bears the body's weight when sitting. It is a large, roughened area on the inferior part of the ischium, one of the three bones that make up the hip bone.

Question 5

This bone bears the medial malleolus.&#10;A)tibia&#10;B)radius&#10;C)ulna&#10;D)fibula

Accepted Answer

The tibia, also known as the shinbone, bears the medial malleolus, which is a bony prominence on the inner side of the ankle.

Question 6

These bones form the pectoral girdle.&#10;A)humerus and scapula&#10;B)coxal bones&#10;C)femur and coxal bone&#10;D)clavicle and scapula

Accepted Answer

The pectoral girdle, which connects the upper limbs to the trunk, is formed by the clavicle (collarbone) and the scapula (shoulder blade).

Question 7

Little bones of the fingers and toes are called the _.&#10;A)phalanges&#10;B)Wormian bones&#10;C)lacrimals&#10;D)ossicles

Question 8

Which of the following is not a part of the appendicular skeleton?&#10;A)scapula&#10;B)carpals&#10;C)femur&#10;D)bony thorax

Accepted Answer

The appendicular skeleton includes the bones of the limbs and the girdles (pelvic and pectoral) that attach them to the axial skeleton. The bony thorax, consisting of the ribs, sternum, and part of the spine, is part of the axial skeleton, not the appendicular skeleton.

Question 9

The radius articulates with this condyle of the humerus.&#10;A)olecranon fossa&#10;B)capitulum&#10;C)intercondylar fossa&#10;D)trochlea

Accepted Answer

The radius articulates with the capitulum of the humerus, which is a rounded knob on the lateral side of the humerus that fits into a depression on the radial head.

Question 10

This bone is commonly called the kneecap.&#10;A)petrous&#10;B)pectoral&#10;C)pelvic&#10;D)patella

Accepted Answer

The kneecap is commonly referred to as the patella. It is a small bone located in front of the knee joint.
