Question 2

Which of the following metatarsal bones articulates with the cuboid?&#10;A) talus&#10;B) metatarsal V&#10;C) navicular&#10;D) medial cuneiform

Accepted Answer

The fifth metatarsal bone articulates with the cuboid bone at the lateral side of the foot. The talus bone articulates with the tibia and fibula bones to form the ankle joint. The navicular bone articulates with the cuneiform bones and the talus bone. The medial cuneiform articulates with the first and second metatarsal bones.

Question 3

What is the roughened surface on the humerus where the deltoid muscle attaches?&#10;A) medial epicondyle&#10;B) deltoid tuberosity&#10;C) capitulum&#10;D) lateral epicondyle

Accepted Answer

The roughened surface on the humerus where the deltoid muscle attaches is called the deltoid tuberosity.

Question 4

Which of the following tarsal bones form the heel?&#10;A) cuboid&#10;B) talus&#10;C) calcaneus&#10;D) navicular

Accepted Answer

The calcaneus bone forms the heel of the foot, connecting to the Achilles tendon and providing support for the body's weight. The cuboid, talus, and navicular are also tarsal bones in the foot, but they do not form the heel.

Question 5

What is the name for the thick,projecting ridge of bone on the posterior aspect of the scapula?&#10;A) coracoid process&#10;B) acromion&#10;C) scapular spine&#10;D) supraspinous fossa

Accepted Answer

The scapular spine is a thick projecting ridge of bone on the posterior aspect of the scapula that serves as an attachment site for muscles and ligaments. The coracoid process is another bony projection on the scapula, located on the anterior aspect, while the acromion is a flattened, triangular bony process that articulates with the clavicle. The supraspinous fossa is a shallow depression located above the scapular spine.

Question 6

Which of the following carpal bones articulates with a metacarpal bone?&#10;A) pisiform&#10;B) trapezium&#10;C) lunate&#10;D) scaphoid

Accepted Answer

The trapezium articulates with the first metacarpal bone, facilitating thumb movement.

Question 7

Which of the following is a bony protrusion on the distal end of the femur?&#10;A) greater trochanter&#10;B) linea aspera&#10;C) medial epicondyle&#10;D) gluteal tuberosity

Accepted Answer

The medial epicondyle is a bony protrusion on the distal end of the femur, located medially. The greater trochanter is a bony protrusion on the proximal end of the femur, the linea aspera is a ridge on the posterior surface of the femur, and the gluteal tuberosity is a roughened area on the posterior surface of the femur near the greater trochanter.

Question 8

Which bone articulates with the manubrium of the sternum?&#10;A) scapula&#10;B) third rib&#10;C) humerus&#10;D) clavicle

Accepted Answer

The clavicle (collarbone) articulates with the manubrium of the sternum at the sternoclavicular joint.

Question 9

What part of the pelvic girdle articulates with the head of the femur?&#10;A) ilium&#10;B) ischium&#10;C) obturator foramen&#10;D) acetabulum

Accepted Answer

The acetabulum is a concave cavity present in the pelvic bone that articulates with the head of the femur to form the hip joint. None of the other options (ilium, ischium, or obturator foramen) articulate with the head of the femur.

Question 10

Which of the following is an attachment site for a tendon on the humerus?&#10;A) olecranon fossa&#10;B) medial epicondyle&#10;C) surgical neck&#10;D) radial groove

Accepted Answer

The medial epicondyle is an attachment site for various tendons, including the common flexor tendon of the forearm muscles, pronator teres muscle, and palmaris longus muscle.
