chapter 7 anatomy – Flashcards

Which of the following bones is NOT part of the upper limb? Clavicle Humerus Radius Ulna

Which bone(s) listed below connects the pectoral girdle to the axial skeleton? True ribs Pelvic girdle Thoracic vertebrae Clavicle

Distal to the tubercles of the humerus is a narrow __________ that corresponds to the metaphysis of the growing bone.

Which of the following statements about the pectoral girdle is FALSE? The scapula is the only direct connection between the pectoral girdle and the axial skeleton. The clavicle articulates with the manubrium of the sternum. Movements of the clavicle and scapula position the shoulder joint and provide a base for arm movement. The scapula has no direct bony or ligamentous connections to the thoracic cage.

Which humeral feature marks the insertion point of the subscapularis muscle?

Which of the following is not true of the radius? The radial head articulates with the trochlea of the humerus. The medial surface of the distal extremity articulates with the ulnar head at the ulnar notch. The radial tuberosity marks the attachment site of the biceps brachii muscle. Only the distal extremity of the radius participates in the wrist joint.

What is the significance of the glenoid cavity of the scapula?

How many bones comprise the appendicular skeleton?

What is the name of the proximal carpal bone located on the lateral border of the wrist adjacent to the styloid process of the radius?

Which of the following is not true of the humerus? The articular condyle comprises the distal inferior surface of the humerus. The area of the medial epicondyle is called the "funny bone," because bumping it results in temporary numbness, due to the striking of the ulnar nerve. The trochlea is the spool-shaped portion of the condyle that articulates with the ulna. The capitulum forms the medial surface of the articular condyle.

Which of the following best describes the only direct connection between the pectoral girdle and the axial skeleton? The sternoclavicular joint The sacro-iliac joint The acromioclavicular joint The glenohumeral joint

Which of the following statements regarding the radioulnar joints is FALSE? Medial rotation at the radioulnar joints in turn rotates the wrist and hand medially from the anatomical position. The distal radioulnar joint is formed by the articulation of the medial surface of the distal extremity with the ulnar head at the ulnar notch of the radius. When medial rotation occurs at the distal radioulnar joint, the ulnar notch rolls across the rounded surface of the ulnar head. Lateral rotation at the radioulnar joints is called supination.

Which of the following are considered to be proximal carpal bones? Scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, hamate Trapezium, trapezoid, capitate, pisiform Scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, pisiform Trapezium, trapezoid, capitate, hamate

The conoid tubercle is on the inferior surface at the acromial end of which bone?

Which of the following clavicle features is/are an attachment site(s) for ligaments of the shoulder? Conoid tubercle and costal tuberosity Costal tuberosity Infraglenoid tubercle Conoid tubercle

Which of the following statements is not true of the ulna? The olecranon process of the ulna forms the point of the elbow. The semilunar notch interlocks with the trochlea of the humerus. When the elbow is flexed (bent), the olecranon fits into the olecranon fossa of the humerus. In the anatomical position, the ulna lies medial to the radius. The ulnar head lies at the distal end of the ulna.

Which of the following statements regarding the scapula is FALSE? The infraglenoid tubercle marks the origin of the lateral head of the triceps brachii muscle. The lateral border is also called the axillary border. The faces of the scapular spine separate the supraspinatus from the infraspinatus muscle. The supraglenoid tubercle marks the origin of the long head of the biceps brachii muscle.

What is the name of the largest carpal bone found in the human body?

The appendicular skeleton contains all of the following EXCEPT the __________. femur humerus pelvic girdle vomer

Which of the following is the largest tarsal bone? Calcaneus Cuboid Navicular Talus

Which of the following statements regarding the fibula is true? The lateral border of the thin fibular diaphysis is bound to the tibia by the crural interosseous membrane. The fibula is directly involved in the transfer of weight to the ankle and foot. The fibular head articulates along the lateral margin of the tibia on the inferior and posterior surface of the lateral tibial condyle. The medial malleolus of the fibula provides stability to the ankle joint.

Which of the following statements comparing the male skull to the female skull is FALSE? The general appearance of the female skull is lighter with a smoother surface. The forehead of the male skull is more sloping. The teeth of the male skull are larger. The sinuses of both male and female skulls are about the same size.

Which of the following bones is not part of the hip bone? Pubis Ischium Sacrum Ilium

Which of the following is false about the metatarsals and phalanges of the foot? The phalanges help support the weight of the body during standing, walking, and running. There are 5 metatarsals in each foot. The number of phalanges in the foot is equal to the number in each hand. There are 14 phalanges in each foot.

Which of the following marks the inferior border of the iliac fossa? Arcuate line Posterior gluteal line Inferior gluteal line Pectineal line

Which tarsal bone transmits the weight of the body from the tibia anteriorly toward the toes?

How many tarsal bones are there in one lower limb?

In which bone does fusion of the ossification centers occur between 1 and 6 years of age?

The intertrochanteric line does NOT __________. mark the distal edge of the articular capsule continue around to the posterior surface All of the listed responses are correct. develop where large tendons attach to the femur

Closure of which of the following structures is completed by age 2? Bony matrix Epiphyseal cartilages of the pectoral and pelvic girdles Fontanels Intervertebral discs

Fusion of which structure in the skull takes place by 2-8 years of age?

The medial and lateral condyles of the femur articulate with the medial and lateral condyles of the proximal end of the __________.
