Which bone of the skull forms the anterior covering for the brain, sinus cavities, and may contain a supraorbital notch?
Which bone of the skull forms the anterior covering for the brain, sinus cavities, and may contain a supraorbital notch?
The frontal bone forms the "forehead" and anterior part of the superior skull. It contains the roof of the nasal cavity, the roof of the orbital sockets, and in some skeletons shows a bony notch or supraforamen.

Which of these is not present on the scapula?
Which of these is not present on the scapula?
The coronoid and coracoid processes are easily confused. While the coracoid process lies on the superior lateral portion of the scapula, the coronoid process is found on other bones such as the mandible and ulna.

Which is a feature of the distal posterior end of the humerus?
Which is a feature of the distal posterior end of the humerus?
The humerus articulates with the olecranon of the ulna in the olecranon fossa.
The capitulum and radial fossa are on the anterior side of the humerus; the intertubercular groove is proximal rather than distal; and the styloid process is a projection of the ulna rather than the humerus.

Which bones make up the shoulder girdle?
Which bones make up the shoulder girdle?
The shoulder girdle (or what bones keep the arm attached the the body) is made up of the clavicle and scapula, which together create the frame for the joint space for the upper arm, as well as muscle attachment.

Which bones create the elbow joint?
Which bones create the elbow joint?
The radius and ulna make up the forearm bones, which meet with the humerus of the upper arm to create the elbow joint. All other options only include one or some of these bones, which make them incorrect.

Which is the largest, longest bone of the upper limb?
Which is the largest, longest bone of the upper limb?
The humerus is the largest, longest bone of the upper limb. The radius and ulna — neither as large as the humerus — make up the forearm, while the femur is analogous to the humerus in the lower limb.

Which are the most distal bones of the upper limb?
Which are the most distal bones of the upper limb?
Phalanges, the digits of the hand, are the most distal bones of the upper limb.
The humerus is the bone of the upper arm. The ulna is the bone of the medial side of the forearm. The radius is the bone of the lateral side of the forearm. These bones are all proximal to the phalanges.

Which of the following is a small, unpaired bone of the human cranium, located along the midsagittal line, and articulating with the sphenoid, the ethmoid, and the palatine and maxillary bones?
Which of the following is a small, unpaired bone of the human cranium, located along the midsagittal line, and articulating with the sphenoid, the ethmoid, and the palatine and maxillary bones?
The vomer bone is a small, unpaired bone of the human cranium, located along the midsagittal line. It articulates with the sphenoid, the ethmoid, and the palatine and maxillary bones. The vomer, along with the perpendicular plate of the ethmoid bone, makes up the nasal septum.

Which of the following cranial bones, when paired, form the upper jaw and palate of the mouth?
Which of the following cranial bones, when paired, form the upper jaw and palate of the mouth?
The maxillae form the upper jaw and palate of the mouth. The palatine bone also makes up the hard palate (roof) of the mouth, but it is a single bone, not a pair. The mandible is the lower jaw bone, and is also unpaired.

What is the suture that separates the temporal and parietal bones in the skull?
What is the suture that separates the temporal and parietal bones in the skull?
The correct answer is the squamous suture. It joins as a child develops and divides the temporal and parietal bones. The coronal suture separates the frontal bone and the parietal bones. The lambdoid suture separates the parietal and occipital bones. The zygomatic and occipital sutures do not exist.

What bone makes up your "forehead?"
What bone makes up your "forehead?"
The bone that makes up your "forehead" is the frontal bone because it is the most anterior bone of the skull and is the underlying bone of the forehead. The parietal bone are posterior to the frontal bone and do not make up the forehead. The occipital bone is the most posterior bone of the skull and the zygomatic bone is inferior to the frontal bone and makes up the "cheek bone."

What bone makes up the "cheek bone?"
What bone makes up the "cheek bone?"
The "cheek bone" is the zygomatic bone and therefore is the correct answer. The occipital bone is in the back of the head. The frontal bone makes up the "forehead." The parietal bone is in the middle of the skull, posterior to the frontal bone but anterior to the occipital bone. The temporal bone is on the side of the head and is located inferior to the parietal bone.
