Example Question #311 : Gross Anatomy
On which bone is the olecranon process?
Scaphoid
Ulna
Tibia
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 #312 : Gross Anatomy
On which bone is the deltoid tuberosity?
Radius
Clavicle
Ulna
Humerus
Scapula
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.
Example Question #313 : Gross Anatomy
On which bone is the coracoid process?
Radius
Scapula
Ulna
Scaphoid
Humerus
Scapula
The coracoid process is located on the scapula which is also known as the shoulder blade. The humerus is located in the upper portion of the arm. The radius and ulna is located on the lower portion of the arm. The scaphoid is located in the wrist.

Scapula
Scaphoid
Ulna
Patella
Radius
Scapula
The acromion is located on the scapula which is also known as the shoulder blade. The radius and ulna is located on the lower portion of the arm. The patella is the knee cap. The scaphoid is located in the wrist.

Example Question #311 : Human Anatomy And Physiology
Which of the following is not a carpal bone?
Sphenoid
Hamate
Lunate
Pisiform
Trapezoid
Sphenoid
The sphenoid is located in the skull. All others are carpal bones.
Example Question #313 : Human Anatomy And Physiology
Which of these bones is classified as a long bone?
Vertebrae
Ulna
Ribs
Carpals
Ulna
Bones are classified according to shape. Long bones include the humerus, radius, ulna, tibia, femur, fibula, phalanges, and metacarpals. The carpal and tarsal bones are short bones, which are cuboid-shaped. The ribs are flat bones. Lastly, the vertebrae are irregular bones, meaning they are of mixed shapes.
Example Question #315 : Human Anatomy And Physiology
Which bone is considered the upper arm bone?
Clavicle
Ulna
Humerus
Scapula
Radius
Humerus
The humerus makes up the upper arm. The clavicle and scapula create the shoulder girdle in which the humerus joins with. Finally the radius and Ulna make up the forearm bones.
