  • Which part of the clavicle articulates with the manubrium?
    The sternal end of the clavicle articulates with the manubrium.
  • What injury causes a shoulder separation?
    A shoulder separation results from injury to the acromioclavicular joint.
  • Which feature lies between the spine and superior border of the scapula?
    The suprascapular notch lies between the spine and superior border of the scapula.
  • What is an extension of the spine of the scapula?
    The acromion process is an extension of the spine of the scapula.
  • Name the short, hook-like bony process of the scapula that projects anteriorly.
    The coracoid process is the short, hook-like bony process projecting anteriorly.
  • How many bones are there in both upper limbs combined?
    There are 60 bones in both upper limbs combined (30 per limb).
  • Which bony landmark is located on the lateral side of the proximal humerus?
    The greater tubercle is located on the lateral side of the proximal humerus.
  • Which region of the humerus articulates with the radius at the elbow joint?
    The capitulum of the humerus articulates with the radius.
  • Which is the lateral-most carpal bone of the proximal row?
    The scaphoid is the lateral-most carpal bone of the proximal row.
  • Where is the radial tuberosity located on the radius?
    The radial tuberosity is located near the proximal end of the radius.
  • How many bones fuse to form the adult hip bone?
    Three bones fuse to form the adult hip bone: ilium, ischium, and pubis.
  • Which component forms the superior part of the hip bone?
    The ilium forms the superior part of the hip bone.
  • Which part of the pelvis supports body weight when sitting?
    The ischial tuberosity supports body weight when sitting.
  • Where is the ischial spine located?
    The ischial spine is located between the greater sciatic notch and the lesser sciatic notch.
  • What bones make up the pelvis?
    The pelvis consists of two hip bones, the sacrum, and the coccyx.
  • Which bony landmark of the femur serves as a site for muscle attachment?
    The greater trochanter serves as a site for muscle attachment on the femur.
  • What structure contributes to the knee joint?
    The medial and lateral condyles of the femur contribute to the knee joint.
  • Which tarsal bone articulates with the tibia and fibula?
    The talus articulates with the tibia and fibula.
  • How many bones are in the foot and toes combined?
    There are 26 bones in the foot and toes combined.
  • Which statement about the tibia is correct?
    The tibia is a weight-bearing bone and has an expanded distal end called the medial malleolus.
  • What happens during the seventh week of limb development?
    The upper and lower limb buds appear during the seventh week of development.
  • During endochondral ossification of a long bone, what develops first?
    A primary ossification center develops within the diaphysis first.
  • How does the clavicle develop?
    The clavicle develops via intramembranous ossification and is one of the first bones to ossify.
