Questions and Answers Graded A+
Axial Skeleton - Correct answer-protects the organs of the head, neck, and trunk
Appendicular skeleton - Correct answer--arms, hands, legs, and feet
-pectoral girdle (scapula and clavicle)
-Pelvic girdle
Functions of skeletal system - Correct answer--support
-protection
-movement
-blood formation (bone marrow)
-storage of inorganic salts (calcium and phosphate)
Long bone - Correct answer--long with expanded ends
-functions as levers and framework
-i.e. humerus, ulna, radius, femur, tibia
, Short bone - Correct answer--small, cubed-shaped
-i.e. carpals, tarsals, and patella
Flat bone - Correct answer--plate-like with broad surfaces
-provide protection, muscle attachments
-i.e. skull, scapula, sternum/ribs
