Which list is are bones, or groups of bones that are part of the axial skeleton?

A. ulna, radius, carpals

B. femur, patella, tibia

C. pelvic girdle

D. sternum, ribs, vertebral column

E. clavicle, scapula

Bones are classified on the basis of their shape and have varying amounts of spongy and compact bone. Shape determines function for bones of the skeleton. Classify the scapula as one of the types of bones below. 

A. short

B. long

C. flat

D. irregular

E. sesamoid

When classified according to shape, the humerus, femur, and radius are all called _____ bones. 

A. sesamoid

B. irregular

C. flat

D. long

E. short

As the spianl cord exits the cranium, it passes through a large opening in the occipital bone called the _____.

A. greater trochanter

B. foramen magnum

C. occipital condyle

D. external auditory meatus

E. mental foramen

Which bone includes an opening for the ear canal (the external auditry meatus) and articulates with the mandible?

A. zygomatic bone

B. parietal bone

C. maxillae

D. temporal bone

E. palatine bone

Which is suture A?

A. lambdoid suture

A person who has what is often called a head cold will have difficulty breathing through their nose and will notice that their voice sounds different from when they don't have a cold. Which aspect of the functions of the paranasal sinuses helps explain this?

1. Swelling of the mucous memebrane, and congestion from overproduction of mucus within the sinuses reduces the flow of air through the sinuses, giving that stuffy feeling.

2. The air being warmed in the sinuses is becoming overly warmed and dried from fever, affecting the voice

3. Congested sinuses result in smaller spaces for the voice to resonate(echo), so the voice sounds different than it normally does. 

The largest fontanel of an infant's skull is the anterior fontanel. it usually closes (ossification is completed) at which time after birth?

A. 1-2 months after birth

B. 3 months after birth 

C. 6-9 months after birth

D. 12 months after birth

E. 18-24 months after birth

Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of fontanels?

A. fontanels are important areas where oxygen can pass through to the developing brain in infancy

B. fontanels allow the head to expand in size to accommodate the brain growth in the first two years of life

C. fontanels allow the skull to change shape during the passage of the infant through the birth canal, and then allow the skull to regain its shape following birth

D. infants are usually born with six major fontanels, all of which will ossify and become incorporated into the bones of the skull in two years or less

E. fontanels will become ossified by intramembranous ossification

Which of the following statements is not correct about the hyoid bone?

A. it is anterior to the vertebral column

B. it is positioned between the mandible and the larynx

C. it articulates with the temporal bone

D. it serves as an attachment point for some muscles of the tongue

E. it serves as an attachment point for some muscles of the next and pharynx

There are several types of abnormal curvatures of the spinal column. Some of them are exaggerations of the normal curve. Kyphosis is an exaggeration of a curve that gives the person a hunchbacked appearance. You sometimes see this hump in elderly women with osteoporosis. Which normal curve is exaggerated in kyphosis?

A. cervical

B. thoracic

C. lumbar

D. sacral 

Which statement about the vertebral column is correct?

A. an adult has fewer vertebrae (26) than a child (33)

B. thoracic and scaral curves are primary curves (present at birth)

C. lumbar and vervical curves are secondary curves (develop after birth)

D. the sacrum and coccyx are made of indiviual vertebrae that later fuse

E. all of these are correct statements about the vertebral column

True or False

The hyoid bone does not directly articulate with any other bones.

True or False

Stenosis of the vertebral column occurs when bony growths (osteophytes) cause a narrowing of the vertebral canal, resulting in pressure  and pain on spinal nerves, and a possible decrease in function of the muscles and lower limbs.

Membrane- filled spaces between ccranial bones that enable the fetal skull to modify its size and shape for passage through the birth canal are called:

A. sutures

B. periosteum

C. sinuses

D. fontanels

The hypophyseal fossa of the sella turcica of the sphenoid bone contains the:

A. Hypothalamus

B. Pituitary gland

C. Thyroid gland

D. Pineal gland

The regions of the vertebral column that consist of fused vertebrae are:

A. sacrum and coccyx

B. thoracic and lumbar

C. lumbar and sacrum

D. cervical and thoracic

True or False

The atlanto-occipital joints allow you to rotate the head, as if in signifying "no."

True or False

Ribs that are not attached to the sternum are known as the true ribs

The suture located between a parietal and temporal bone is the:

A. lambdoid

B. sagittal

C. coronal

D. anterolateral

E. squamous

Which of the following are are functions of the cranial bones?

1. protection of the brain

2. attachment of muscles that move the head

3. protection of the special sense organs

4. attachment to the meninges

5. attachment of muscles that produce facial expressions

True or False

An example of a long bone would be one of the true ribs

Axial: Skull, Vertebral column

Appendicular: Clavicle, shoulder girdle, humerus, pelvic girdle, femur
