Anthrology Quiz 4 Quiz

A sagittal crest is a ridge of bone running lengthwise along the midline of the top of the skull. It is most commonly found in robust Australopithecines, where it serves as an anchor point for chewing muscles similar to gorillas.

The Masseter muscle is located at the back of the jaw and the forward part of the zygomatic arch, while the Temporalis muscle is found under the zygomatic arch and on the sides/the sagittal crest. These two muscles play a crucial role in the process of closing the mouth during chewing.

The zygomatic arch is a prominent bone on the side of the skull that connects the zygomatic bone (cheekbone) to the temporal bone. It plays a crucial role in the structure and function of the skull.

The cranial bone is also known as the skull, which protects the brain.

The neck is made up of cervical vertebrae, not sacral vertebrae, coccygeal vertebrae, or bones such as the femur.

The two primary bones in the human arm are the radius and ulna. These two bones are important for movement and support in the upper limb.

The correct answer includes the wrist bones (carpals), the bones in the hand (metacarpals), and the bones in the fingers (phalanges). The other options either include incorrect bone groups or duplicate terms.

The correct terms for the Hip/ Pelvis are Z-illia/ I-sacrum. The incorrect answers provided do not correlate with the correct terminology used in anatomy.

The human leg consists of the femur, tibia, and fibula. The patella, humerus, ulna, radius, scapula, clavicle, carpals, metatarsals, and phalanges are not part of the leg, but rather bones found in other parts of the body.

The ankle consists of the Tarsales (ankle bones), Metatarsals (midfoot bones), and Phalanges (toe bones). The incorrect answers refer to other parts of the leg and hand, which are not part of the ankle structure.

The correct term for the neck is nuchal crust. The incorrect answers provided are silly and do not accurately represent anatomical terminology.
