    • D.

      Perpendicular to lateral Cuneiform

    Correct Answer
    B. Perpendicular to Medial Malleolus
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Perpendicular to Medial Malleolus." When performing a CR (central ray) for a lateral ankle X-ray, the central ray should be directed perpendicular to the medial malleolus. This means that the X-ray beam should be aimed straight towards the inner ankle bone, which helps to visualize the lateral aspect of the ankle joint. This positioning ensures that the X-ray image captures the necessary anatomy and provides a clear view of any potential injuries or abnormalities in the lateral ankle area.

    Explanation
    To get the Greater Trochanter in profile on a radiograph for an AP Pelvis, the patient should be positioned supine with both legs and feet inverted 15-20 degrees. This position allows for better visualization of the Greater Trochanter, which is the bony prominence on the upper part of the femur. The supine position ensures that the patient is lying on their back, while the inversion of the legs and feet helps to align the hip joint and bring the Greater Trochanter into the desired profile view on the radiograph.

    The largest of the cuneiforms?

    • A.

      Medial cuneiform

    • B.

      Intermediate cuneiform

    • C.

      Lateral cuneiform

    Correct Answer
    A. Medial cuneiform
    Explanation
    The medial cuneiform is the largest of the cuneiform bones. It is located in the middle of the foot, between the intermediate and lateral cuneiform bones. The cuneiform bones are part of the tarsal bones in the foot and play a crucial role in providing stability and support to the arch of the foot. The medial cuneiform is the largest because it bears more weight and pressure compared to the other cuneiform bones.

      The forth metatarsal bone

    • E.

      The fifth metatarsal bone

    Correct Answer
    A. The first metatarsal bone
    Explanation
    The medial cuneiform articulates with the first metatarsal bone. The cuneiform bones are located in the midfoot region and form part of the tarsal bones. The medial cuneiform specifically connects with the first metatarsal bone, which is the bone that forms the base of the big toe. This articulation allows for movement and stability in the midfoot, contributing to proper foot function and gait.

    The posterior portion of the calcaneous is often call as?

    • A.

      The tail bone

    • B.

      The heel bone

    • C.

      The Knee bone

    • D.

      The calcaneal bone

    Correct Answer
    B. The heel bone
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "The heel bone". The posterior portion of the calcaneus is commonly referred to as the heel bone. The calcaneus is the largest bone in the foot and forms the heel, providing support and stability to the foot while walking or standing. Therefore, the term "heel bone" accurately describes the posterior portion of the calcaneus.

      Navicular

    • E.

      Cuneiform bones

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Talus
    B. Calcaneus
    Explanation
    The subtalar articulation is formed by the talus and calcaneus bones. These two bones are located in the foot and are involved in the movement of the ankle joint. The talus bone sits on top of the calcaneus bone and allows for inversion and eversion movements of the foot. Together, they form a joint that is important for maintaining stability and flexibility in the foot during activities such as walking or running.

    The transverse arch of the foot primarily is formed by the weight-shaped cuneiforms and the cuboid bone

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The transverse arch of the foot is formed by the weight-shaped cuneiforms and the cuboid bone. This means that these bones play a significant role in supporting the arch of the foot and maintaining its structure. The cuneiforms are wedge-shaped bones located in the midfoot region, while the cuboid bone is situated on the outer side of the foot. Together, they contribute to the stability and flexibility of the foot, allowing it to adapt to various surfaces and absorb shock during walking, running, and other weight-bearing activities. Therefore, the statement is true.

    Correct Answer
    B. The cuneiforms
    Explanation
    The correct answer is the cuneiforms. The cuneiform bones are located in the tarsals of the foot and are named for their wedge-like shape. They are three in number - medial cuneiform, intermediate cuneiform, and lateral cuneiform. These bones play a crucial role in providing stability and support to the foot during walking and running.
