ASM 275 PRACTICE PAPER 2026 COMPLETE
SOLUTIONS
◉ Axial. Answer: vertebrae, ribs, clavicle, sternum, scapula, pelvis,
sacrum and os coxa 80
◉ appendicular skeleton. Answer: Humerus, radius, Ulna, carpals,
metacarpals, phalanges, femur, tibia, fibula, patella, tarsals,
metatarsals, phalanges 126
◉ Collagen. Answer: protein in bones, provide flexibility
◉ Hydroxyapatite. Answer: mineral in bones, provides rigidity
◉ Osteon. Answer: molecular structure of cortical bone
◉ Plexiform. Answer: rarely found in humans, more rapid than
primary or secondary lamellar tissue
◉ Bone Histology. Answer: osteons, trabecular, diploe, cortical
, ◉ Foramen. Answer: openings in bones for nerves, muscles or
arteries
◉ Suture. Answer: immovable junction between two bones
◉ Anterior. Answer: towards front (ventral)
◉ Posterior. Answer: toward rear
◉ Proximal. Answer: toward articulation of body (joint)
◉ Diaphysis. Answer: the primary center of ossification
◉ Trabecular Bone. Answer: spongy bone inside of skeletal elements
◉ Diploe. Answer: trabecular bone of the cranial vault
◉ Cortical Bone. Answer: dense bone on surfaces on skeletal
elements
◉ appositional growth. Answer: increase diameter
