1. What is the clavicle?

A bone in the leg

A type of tooth

In human anatomy, the clavicle or collar bone is classified as a long bone that makes up part of the shoulder girdle (pectoral girdle). It receives its name from the Latin clavicula ("little key") because the bone rotates along its axis like a key when the shoulder is abducted. This movement is palpable. In some people, particularly females who may have less fat in this region, the location of the bone is clearly visible as it creates a bulge in the skin.

A part of the spine

The clavicle is not a bone in the leg, a type of tooth, or a part of the spine, but rather it is the collar bone that forms part of the shoulder girdle.

Explanation

The clavicle is not a bone in the leg, a type of tooth, or a part of the spine, but rather it is the collar bone that forms part of the shoulder girdle.

2. What is the function of the Acromion Process?

The lateral extension of the spine of the scapula, forming the highest point of the shoulder.

It is a bone located in the lower back region of the spine.

It is part of the knee joint responsible for stabilizing the lower leg.

It is a small muscle in the hand that controls fine motor movements.

The Acromion Process is a distinctive feature of the scapula and plays a crucial role in shoulder movement and stability.

Explanation

The Acromion Process is a distinctive feature of the scapula and plays a crucial role in shoulder movement and stability.

3. What is the Coracoid Process?

A bone in the foot supporting the arch.

A part of the skull that protects the brain.

A process of the humerus bone in the upper arm.

A curved process arising from the upper neck of the scapula and overhanging the shoulder joint.

The Coracoid Process is a specific anatomical feature of the scapula that plays a role in shoulder joint movement and muscle attachment.

Explanation

The Coracoid Process is a specific anatomical feature of the scapula that plays a role in shoulder joint movement and muscle attachment.

4. What is the sternal notch?

A term used in dentistry to describe a gap between two teeth.

A v-shaped structure on the sternum.

A small indentation on the back of the hand.

The point where the ribs meet the spine.

The sternal notch is a distinct v-shaped structure found at the top of the sternum, also known as the breastbone. It is an important landmark for identifying anatomical structures in the chest region.

Explanation

The sternal notch is a distinct v-shaped structure found at the top of the sternum, also known as the breastbone. It is an important landmark for identifying anatomical structures in the chest region.

5. Where is the Greater Tubercle located?

On the armsThe humerus of the upper arm has two tubercles, the greater tubercle and the lesser tubercle. These are situated at the proximal end of the bone, that is the end that connects with thescapula. The greater/lesser tubercule are located from the top of the acromion laterally and inferiorly.

On the radius

On the femur

On the tibia

The Greater Tubercle is actually located on the upper arm bone, the humerus. It is one of the two tubercles found on the proximal end of the humerus.

Explanation

The Greater Tubercle is actually located on the upper arm bone, the humerus. It is one of the two tubercles found on the proximal end of the humerus.

6. What is the sternum?

The sternum is a long flat bone (or, in some models, set of three bones) shaped like a capital 'T' located in the center of the thorax (chest). It connects to the rib bones via cartilage, forming the anterior section of the rib cage with them, and thus helps to protect the lungs, heart and major blood vessels from physical trauma.

A part of the skull

A type of muscle in the leg

A bone in the hand

The sternum is a specific bone located in the chest region, not in the leg, hand, or skull.

Explanation

The sternum is a specific bone located in the chest region, not in the leg, hand, or skull.

7. What is the xiphoid process?

A type of flower found in tropical regions.

The xiphoid process, also known as the xiphisternum, is a small cartilaginous extension to the lower part of the sternum which is usuallyossified in the adult human. By age 15 to 29, the xiphoid usually fuses to the body of the sternum with a fibrous joint. Unlike the synovial articulation of major joints, this is non-movable. Much the way the first seven ribs articulate with the sternum, the cartilage in the celiac plexus joins on the xiphoid process, reinforcing it, and indirectly attaches the costal cartilage to the sternum. In newborn babies and young (especially slender) infants, the tip of the xiphoid process may be both seen and felt as a lump just below the sternal notch.

An ancient Greek philosopher.

A bone located in the foot.

The xiphoid process is a small cartilaginous extension to the lower part of the sternum which is usually ossified in the adult human. It is not related to flowers, philosophers, or bones in the foot.

Explanation

The xiphoid process is a small cartilaginous extension to the lower part of the sternum which is usually ossified in the adult human. It is not related to flowers, philosophers, or bones in the foot.

On the temporal bone of the skull

The Frontal Eminence is a prominent bulge on the frontal bone of the skull, located above the forehead.

Explanation

The Frontal Eminence is a prominent bulge on the frontal bone of the skull, located above the forehead.

9. What is the Supra-Orbital Ridge?

The curved upper border of the entrance to the eye

The lower part of the jaw bone.

A term used in architecture to describe a specific type of column.

A type of mountain ridge found underwater.

The Supra-Orbital Ridge is a bony ridge located above the eye sockets on the frontal bone of the skull.

Explanation

The Supra-Orbital Ridge is a bony ridge located above the eye sockets on the frontal bone of the skull.

10. What is the function of the zygomatic bone?
