Chapter 7 - The Axial Skeleton test with
correct answers
Appendicular Skeleton - CORRECT ANSWERS-Bones of the upper and lower limbs;
bones that form girdles that connect limbs to Axial Skeleton
Articular - CORRECT ANSWERS-forms a joint
Articular Facet - CORRECT ANSWERS-superior and inferior joints that connect
vertebrae to each other
Atlas - CORRECT ANSWERS-the 1st cervical vertebra
Axial Skeleton - CORRECT ANSWERS-Bones that lie around the longitudinal axis
Axis - CORRECT ANSWERS-the 2nd cervical vertebra (provides pivot)
Body - CORRECT ANSWERS-weight bearing
Bones in the central (axial) skeleton - CORRECT ANSWERS-Skull, Vertebral column
(including Sacrum), Ribs, Sternum (80 bones in total)
Catagories of the skull - CORRECT ANSWERS-cranial and facial bones
Cervical and lumbar vertebrae - CORRECT ANSWERS-curves are convex (bulge out)
Cervical vertabrae - CORRECT ANSWERS-seven of them, located in neck, C1-C7
Coccyx - CORRECT ANSWERS-tailbone; final segment of bony spine; fusion of 4
vertebrae
Condyle - CORRECT ANSWERS-large, round, and articular bony process
Costal Cartilages - CORRECT ANSWERS-the hyaline cartilages that connect the
sternum and the ends of the ribs; contribute to elasticity of thoracic cage (breathing)
, Depression and Openings - CORRECT ANSWERS-sites allowing the passage of soft
tissue such as nerves, blood vessels, ligaments, tendons or formations of joints.
Epicondyle - CORRECT ANSWERS-bone protuberance above a condyle
Ethmoid bone - CORRECT ANSWERS-irregularly shaped bone located between the
eye orbits, forms the roof of the nasal cavity
Facial bones - CORRECT ANSWERS-provide framework of the face, support for
entrance to digestive and respiratory system
False Ribs - CORRECT ANSWERS-last 5 pairs of ribs; attach indirectly to sternum
Flat Bones - CORRECT ANSWERS-Thin, two nearly parallel plates of compact bone
enclosing layer of spongy bone
Floating Ribs - CORRECT ANSWERS-last two pairs of ribs; do not attach to sternum
Fontanels - CORRECT ANSWERS-soft, undifferentiated, loose connective tissue that
fills spaces between cranial bones in babies (will become suture in adults)
Foramen - CORRECT ANSWERS-Opening in a bone through which blood vessels
and/or nerves pass
Fossa - CORRECT ANSWERS-shallow depression in bone
Frontal bone - CORRECT ANSWERS-the large cranial bone forming the front part of
the cranium: the forehead and the upper part of the orbits
Girdles - CORRECT ANSWERS-Shoulder Blades, Collar Bones, Bony structures that
attach the limbs to the body
How many bones are in the human body - CORRECT ANSWERS-206
Hyoid bone - CORRECT ANSWERS-a U-shaped bone at the base of the tongue that
supports the tongue muscles, doesn't articulate with any other bone, site of attachment
for tongue, pharynx and neck
Inferior Facet - CORRECT ANSWERS-Spinal joint that faces downward, bone
protruding vertically below the vertebrae, connects the vertebrae together
Inferior Nasal Conchae - CORRECT ANSWERS-make up part of the interior of the nose
(2)
Intervertabral Foramen - CORRECT ANSWERS-exiting of spinal nerves
