  • 2. 

    Cranial and Facial bones create the skull.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is correct. Cranial and facial bones are the two main types of bones that make up the skull. The cranial bones form the top, back, and sides of the skull, providing protection for the brain. The facial bones make up the front of the skull, including the forehead, eye sockets, nose, and jaw. Together, these bones create the structure of the skull, protecting the brain and supporting the face. Therefore, the answer is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    The two types of bone are _____ and _____.

    • Broken and NonBroken

    • Compact and Spongy

    • Healed and Unharmed

    • Thin and Thick

    Correct Answer
    A. Compact and Spongy
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Compact and Spongy." These are the two types of bone tissue found in the human body. Compact bone is dense and forms the outer layer of bones, providing strength and support. Spongy bone, also known as cancellous or trabecular bone, is found inside bones and has a porous structure. It helps to reduce the weight of the bone while still providing support and flexibility.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    There are ____ bones in the body.

    • 106

    • 206

    • 306

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    The human body consists of 206 bones.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    The sternum is known as the _____.

    • Backbone

    • Hipbone

    • Breastbone

    • Arm bone

    Correct Answer
    A. Breastbone
    Explanation
    The sternum is commonly referred to as the breastbone. It is a flat bone located in the center of the chest, connecting the ribs and forming the front of the rib cage. The term "breastbone" is derived from its position in the chest, resembling the shape of a bone that lies beneath the breasts.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    The three types of rubs are True Ribs, False Ribs, and _____.

    • Floating Ribs

    • Neutral Ribs

    • Attached Ribs

    • Missing Ribs

    Correct Answer
    A. Floating Ribs
    Explanation
    The three types of ribs are True Ribs, False Ribs, and Floating Ribs. True Ribs are directly attached to the sternum, while False Ribs are indirectly attached to the sternum through cartilage. Floating Ribs, on the other hand, are not attached to the sternum at all and are only connected to the vertebrae in the back.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    The marrow in large bones produces new blood cells.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The marrow in large bones is responsible for producing new blood cells. This process, known as hematopoiesis, occurs in the bone marrow and involves the production of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. These blood cells are essential for carrying oxygen, fighting infections, and clotting blood. Therefore, it is true that the marrow in large bones produces new blood cells.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    The types of marrow are _____ and _____.

    • Red and Blue

    • Red and White

    • Red and Yellow

    • Red and Green

    Explanation
    The types of marrow are red and yellow.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Ribs create a protective ____ around organs in the upper body.

    • Shield

    • Cage

    • Barrier

    • Hollow

    Correct Answer
    A. Cage
    Explanation
    Ribs are curved bones that form a protective cage around the organs in the upper body, including the heart and lungs. This cage-like structure provides support and helps to prevent damage to these vital organs. Therefore, the correct answer is "cage."

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    There are more bones in an adult body than a child's.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because children have more bones than adults. In childhood, the bones are still growing and fusing together, so the skeleton of a child has more bones compared to that of an adult. As a person grows, some of the bones fuse together, resulting in a decrease in the total number of bones in the adult body.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    The sternum protects the heart, lungs, and _____ from damage.

    • Major blood vessels

    • Stomach

    • Kidneys

    • Intestines

    Correct Answer
    A. Major blood vessels
    Explanation
    The sternum is a flat bone located in the center of the chest. It acts as a protective shield for vital organs such as the heart and lungs. Additionally, major blood vessels, including the aorta and vena cava, are located in close proximity to the sternum. Therefore, the sternum also plays a crucial role in safeguarding these blood vessels from potential damage.
