The two bones that meet to form the upper jaw are the
A) mandibles.
B) lacrimal bones.
C) zygomatic bones.
D) maxillae.

Accepted Answer

The maxillae are the bones that form the upper jaw. The mandibles are the lower jawbones, the lacrimal bones are located in the eye sockets, and the zygomatic bones form the cheekbones.

Question 9

Bone surface markings
A) provide a means for identifying bone type.
B) vary according to gender.
C) allow for joint and muscle attachment.
D) are used in forensic examinations to determine age.

Accepted Answer

Bone surface markings, also known as bone markings or bone features, serve as attachment points for muscles, tendons, and ligaments. These markings also provide clues about the joints and their range of motion. While bone surface markings can be used to help identify specific bones, they do not necessarily indicate bone type or vary according to gender, and their use in forensic examinations is primarily to determine factors such as an individual's age, sex, and health history.

Question 11

A child is skateboarding without a helmet and falls backward, striking the lower portion of the back of his head on the curb. Which bone is most likely to have been injured?
A) Frontal bone
B) Ethmoid bone
C) Parietal bone
D) Occipital bone

Accepted Answer

The occipital bone forms the lower rear portion of the skull and is in close proximity to the posterior region of the head where the injury occurred. It is also responsible for protecting the cerebellum, which can be affected by this type of injury.

Answer: K
 Phalanges are the bones located in fingers and toes.

Answer: L
 The sternum is also known as the breastbone and is located in the center of the chest.

Question 16

During a boxing competition, a boxer receives a hard upward blow to the nose. Later, he notices clear fluid leaking from his nose. What is the most likely explanation for this occurrence?
A) The temporal bone was fractured in the accident, dislodging the auditory ossicles and allowing fluid normally found in the middle ear to leak out.
B) The sphenoid bone was fractured in the accident, disrupting the boundary around the nose and throat, increasing the flow of nasal secretions.
C) The frontal bone was fractured, allowing tears to flow from the orbital cavity and out through the nose.
D) The cribriform plate was fractured, disrupting the meninges and allowing cerebrospinal fluid to leak out.

Accepted Answer

The cribriform plate, part of the ethmoid bone, when fractured can lead to a tear in the meninges, the protective coverings of the brain and spinal cord. This can result in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaking from the nose, a condition known as CSF rhinorrhea.

Question 17

The adult human skeleton typically contains how many bones?
A) 212
B) 206
C) 108
D) 112

Accepted Answer

The adult human skeleton typically contains 206 bones. This includes bones in the axial skeleton (skull, vertebral column, and thorax) and the appendicular skeleton (limbs and girdles). Choices A, C, and D are all incorrect.

Question 18

Which bone is found in the appendicular skeleton?
A) Mandible
B) Sacrum
C) Scapula
D) Rib

Accepted Answer

The scapula is part of the appendicular skeleton which includes the bones of the limbs and girdles that attach them to the axial skeleton. The mandible is part of the axial skeleton which includes the bones of the skull, spine, and ribs. The sacrum is also part of the axial skeleton as it is the fused vertebrae at the base of the spine. The rib is considered part of the thoracic cage which is also part of the axial skeleton.

Question 19

Which structure is considered to be part of the temporal bone?
A) Cribriform plate
B) Zygomatic arch
C) Sella turcica
D) Ethmoid bone

Accepted Answer

The zygomatic arch is a part of the temporal bone, which forms the lower anterior portion of the skull. The cribriform plate belongs to the ethmoid bone, the sella turcica belongs to the sphenoid bone, and the ethmoid bone is a separate bone belonging to the skull.

Question 20

Which bones contribute to the formation of the orbit?
A) Lacrimal, nasal, palatine
B) Nasal, inferior nasal conchae, vomer
C) Maxillae, zygomatic, lacrimal, palatine
D) Lacrimal and nasal

Accepted Answer

The maxillae, zygomatic, lacrimal, and palatine bones all contribute to the formation of the orbit. The lacrimal and nasal bones do contribute to the orbit, but they are not the only bones involved. The inferior nasal conchae and vomer do not contribute to the formation of the orbit.
