ANPH 111 Moving Exam Skeletal Questions And Answers
Manubrium - ANSWER The upper part of the sternum (breastbone) that connects with
the clavicle and the first two ribs.
Atlas - ANSWER The first cervical vertebra (C1) supporting the skull and allowing
nodding movements.
12 - ANSWER Refers to the 12 thoracic vertebrae, which are part of the spine and
connect to the ribs.
Hyoid Bone - ANSWER A U-shaped bone in the neck that supports the tongue and is
involved in swallowing. It is not directly attached to any other bones.
Coronal Curves - ANSWER Refers to the natural lateral curvatures of the spine, such as
the thoracic or lumbar curves, seen when looking from the front or back (coronal plane).
Parietal Bone - ANSWER Located on the sides and top of the cranium, forming part of
the skull.
Diaphysis - ANSWER The shaft or central part of a long bone.
Foramen Magnum - ANSWER A large opening at the base of the skull through which the
spinal cord passes.
Fibrous Cartilage (Fibrocartilage) - ANSWER A tough, dense type of cartilage found in
intervertebral discs and other joints, acting as a cushion.
28 - ANSWER This likely refers to the number of bones in a certain section of the body.
, For example, 28 bones in the skull, face, and ears combined.
Coronal Suture - ANSWER The fibrous joint that connects the frontal bone with the two
parietal bones on either side of the skull.
External Angle (Sternal Angle of Louis) - ANSWER The junction between the manubrium
and the body of the sternum. It marks the location of the second rib, important for
anatomical landmarking.
Lateral Epicondyle - ANSWER A bony prominence on the lateral side of the distal
humerus where tendons of the forearm muscles attach, commonly associated with
'tennis elbow.'
Deltoid Tuberosity - ANSWER A roughened area on the lateral aspect of the humerus,
where the deltoid muscle attaches.
Clavicular Notch - ANSWER A notch on either side of the upper part of the sternum
(manubrium), where the clavicle articulates with the sternum.
Coronoid Process - ANSWER A triangular projection from the ulna, part of the elbow
joint, where it fits into the coronoid fossa of the humerus during elbow flexion.
Acromion - ANSWER The lateral extension of the spine of the scapula, forming the
highest point of the shoulder and articulating with the clavicle to form the
acromioclavicular joint.
Scapular Spine - ANSWER A prominent ridge of bone on the posterior surface of the
scapula that divides the supraspinous and infraspinous fossae.
Trochlea - ANSWER A pulley-shaped part of the distal humerus that articulates with the
ulna in the elbow joint.

the clavicle and the first two ribs.
