Describe The Various Parts Of Skeleton And Their Functions Quiz

The cranium consists of eight bones, including 2 parietal bones, 2 temporal bones, frontal bone, occipital bone, sphenoid bone, and ethmoid bone.

The skull is made up of 22 bones which are grouped into two categories: the cranium (8 bones) and the facial bones (14 bones). The correct answer provided lists the 14 bones that make up the facial part of the skull.

The brain and meninges are protected by the cranial bones, which form the skull. While facial bones do not directly come in contact with the brain and meninges, they play a role in protecting other structures of the face.

An adult human has 206 bones as some of the bones in a baby or child are not yet fused together, resulting in a higher bone count during infancy.

The axial skeleton primarily includes the bones along the central axis of the body, such as the skull, vertebral column, and sternum. The scapula, humerus, and fibula are not part of the axial skeleton; the scapula and humerus are part of the appendicular skeleton, while the fibula is a bone in the lower leg.

The anterior, middle, and posterior fossae are different regions of the ventral floor of the cranium, not the dorsal roof, lateral wall, or superior vault.

The occipital condyles are located laterally to the foramen magnum, forming the articulation with the atlas vertebra. This allows for the head to move in a nodding motion.

The Temporal bone contains various important structures including the styloid process, External Acoustic Meatus, and the mastoid process. The mastoid process is a bony projection located on the temporal bone behind the ear that serves as an attachment point for muscles.

The sella turcica is a bony structure at the base of the skull that houses the pituitary gland and is specifically found on the sphenoid bone.

The perpendicular plate of the ethmoid bone forms the superior portion of the Nasal Septum, dividing the nasal cavity into left and right sides.

The Cribiform Plate is a part of the skull where the Olfactory Nerve, responsible for the sense of smell, passes through. The other structures mentioned are not associated with the Cribiform Plate.

The nasal conchae are also known as the nasal turbinates, which help to warm and humidify inhaled air. The nasal septum refers to the cartilaginous wall that divides the nasal cavity into two nostrils. Nasal sinuses are air-filled cavities within the bones of the skull, and the nasal vestibule is the anterior part of the nasal cavity near the nostrils.

The sinuses found in the Frontal, Maxilla, Sphenoid, and Ethmoid bones are collectively known as paranasal sinuses. These cavities are lined with mucous membranes and are connected to the nasal passages.

The Masseter muscle is a thick muscle that inserts on the angle of the mandible, helping in the closing of the jaw during chewing.

The mandibular condyle articulates with the temporal bone at the temporomandibular joint, allowing for the movement of the jaw.

The correct answer is the maxilla because it forms the front part of the upper jaw and connects to the nasal bone, the frontal bone, and the zygomatic bones.

The lacrimal bone is a small, fragile bone located in the eye socket that houses the tear ducts. The tear ducts are not located in the zygomatic, mandible, or maxilla bones.

Olfactory receptors are located near the superior nasal conchae, not the inferior, middle, or lateral nasal conchae.

An infant's vertebral column is C shaped because it is curved in a manner that resembles the letter C. This shape changes as the infant grows and develops.

The correct number of vertebrae in each region are as follows: Cervical (7), Thoracic (12), Lumbar (5), Sacral (5), Coccyx (4). Each region corresponds to a specific number of vertebrae that are essential for providing structural support and flexibility to the human spine.

The human spine consists of 33 vertebrae and 23 intervertebral discs which act as cushions between the vertebrae, providing flexibility and allowing movement.

The correct answer is humerus because the glenoid cavity of the scapula specifically articulates with the head of the humerus bone in the shoulder joint.

The deltoid muscle inserts on the deltoid tuberosity of the humerus, not the scapular, radial, or ulnar tuberosities. The deltoid tuberosity is a rough, oval prominence on the lateral surface of the body of the humerus, where the deltoid muscle inserts.

The correct answer is 8 bones, arranged in 2 rows of 4. The carpal bones form the wrist and are important for wrist flexibility and movements.

The thumb is also known as the pollex, not digitus minimus manus (little finger), hallux (big toe), or index finger.

The olecranon is a bony projection of the ulna bone located at the back of the elbow. It forms the prominent point of the elbow that can be felt when the elbow is flexed.

Wedding rings are traditionally worn on the left proximal phalange of p3, also known as the fourth finger of the left hand due to the belief that a vein in this finger leads directly to the heart.

The correct term to describe the membrane connecting the tibia and fibula is 'intraosseous', meaning within the bone.

Tarsal bones are arranged in a specific manner in the foot, with 7 bones in total - 3 proximal and 4 distal. The incorrect answers provided have different numbers and arrangements of tarsal bones, deviating from the correct anatomical structure.
