You have 24 ribs including your floating ribs
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The statement is true because the human body typically has 24 ribs, 12 on each side. The first 7 pairs are known as "true ribs" as they are directly connected to the sternum, while the next 3 pairs are called "false ribs" as they are indirectly connected to the sternum through cartilage. The last 2 pairs, known as "floating ribs," are not connected to the sternum at all and are free-floating. Therefore, when considering all the ribs, including the floating ribs, the total count is 24.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
parietal
ParietalExplanation
The question is asking for a word that fits in the blank. The word "parietal" can be used as an adjective to describe the parietal bone, which is a bone in the skull. "Parietal" can also be used as a noun to refer to the parietal lobe, which is a region of the brain. Therefore, both "parietal" and "Parietal" are correct answers as they are the same word with different capitalization.Rate this question:
- 24.
12._______________
Correct Answer
temporal
TemporalExplanation
The word "temporal" is repeated twice in the question. It is likely that the question is asking for a word that is spelled the same but has a different meaning when capitalized. In this case, "temporal" refers to something related to time, while "Temporal" could refer to the bones in the skull. However, without further context, it is difficult to determine the exact meaning being asked for.Rate this question:
