Example Question #22 : Identifying Bones Of The Upper Extremities
The __________ are the eight wrist bones.
tarsals
phalanges
metacarpals
carpals
metatarsals
carpals
The carpals are the eight wrist bones. The metacarpals make up the body of the hand between the wrist and the projection of the fingers. The phalanges are the bones of the fingers and toes. The fourteen tarsals and ten metatarsals make up the ankles and the bodies of the feet, respectively.
Example Question #308 : Human Anatomy And Physiology
On which bone is the greater tubercle?
Radius
Femur
Humerus
Ulna
Scaphoid
Humerus
The correct answer is the humerus. The greater tubercle is on the superolateral portion of the humerus. The radius and ulna is in the lower portion of the arm. The scaphoid is in the wrist. The femur is in the upper portion of the leg.
Example Question #25 : Identifying Bones Of The Upper Extremities
On which bone is the lesser tubercle?
Patella
Humerus
Ulna
Radius
Ischium
Humerus
The correct answer is the humerus. The patella is the knee cap. The ischium is in the pelvis. The radius and ulna is in the lower arm.
Example Question #21 : Identifying Bones Of The Upper Extremities
On which bone is the olecranon process?
Scaphoid
Tibia
Ulna
Humerus
Radius
Ulna
The correct answer is the ulna. The olecranon process is located on the ulna. The olecranon process is not on the radius which is the other bone in the forearm. The humerus is located in the upper portion of the arm. The scaphoid is in the wrist. The tibia is in the lower leg.
Example Question #22 : Identifying Bones Of The Upper Extremities
On which bone is the deltoid tuberosity?
Humerus
Scapula
Ulna
Radius
Clavicle
Humerus
The deltoid is a muscle on the lateral portion of the upper arm. The humerus is the bone on the upper arm and the deltoid attaches to the humerus. The radius and ulna is located on the lower portion of the arm. The clavicle is in the upper chest, also known as the collarbone. The scapula is the shoulder blade and the deltoid does not attach to it.
