Example Question #111 : Bones
Which bones make up the shoulder girdle?
Clavicle and humerus
Scapula, humerus, sternum, and clavicle
Scapula and humerus
Scapula, humerus, and sternum
Clavicle and scapula
Clavicle and scapula
The shoulder girdle (or what bones keep the arm attached the the body) is made up of the clavicle and scapula, which together create the frame for the joint space for the upper arm, as well as muscle attachment.
Example Question #32 : Identifying Bones Of The Upper Extremities
Which bone of the shoulder is commonly known as the collar bone?
Clavicle
Radius
Sternum
Scapula
Humerus
Clavicle
The clavicle is commonly known as the collar bone. Hint: the collar of your shirt lies against this bone.
Example Question #112 : Bones
Which bones create the elbow joint?
Humerus and scapula
Radius and humerus
Ulna and carpals
Radius, ulna, and humerus
Tibia and femur
Radius, ulna, and humerus
The radius and ulna make up the forearm bones, which meet with the humerus of the upper arm to create the elbow joint. All other options only include one or some of these bones, which make them incorrect.
Example Question #113 : Bones
Which of these is not present on the scapula?
Coronoid process
Coracoid process
Infraspinous fossa
Rim of glenoid cavity
Suprascapular notch
Coronoid process
The coronoid and coracoid processes are easily confused. While the coracoid process lies on the superior lateral portion of the scapula, the coronoid process is found on other bones such as the mandible and ulna.
Example Question #114 : Bones
Which is a feature of the distal posterior end of the humerus?
Capitulum
Intertubercular groove
Radial fossa
Styloid process
Olecranon fossa
Olecranon fossa
The humerus articulates with the olecranon of the ulna in the olecranon fossa.
The capitulum and radial fossa are on the anterior side of the humerus; the intertubercular groove is proximal rather than distal; and the styloid process is a projection of the ulna rather than the humerus.
Example Question #321 : Gross Anatomy
A patient has AB positive blood. Which of the following blood types, if transfused, would cause agglutination?
None of these
AB negative
B negative
O negative
A positive
None of these
An AB positive patient is known as a universal recipient because they can receive blood from any blood type. The recipient's antibodies are what will attack foreign antigens. Type AB positive patients produce no antibodies, because any antibody produced would attack their own antigens, causing agglutination. Because type AB patients patients do not produce antibodies, they cannot attack any antigens and they can receive any blood type.
Example Question #41 : Identifying Bones Of The Upper Extremities
Which is the largest, longest bone of the upper limb?
radius
ulna
humerus
femur
humerus
The humerus is the largest, longest bone of the upper limb. The radius and ulna — neither as large as the humerus — make up the forearm, while the femur is analogous to the humerus in the lower limb.
Example Question #43 : Identifying Bones Of The Upper Extremities
Which are the most distal bones of the upper limb?
radius
ulna
phalanges
humerus
phalanges
Phalanges, the digits of the hand, are the most distal bones of the upper limb.
The humerus is the bone of the upper arm. The ulna is the bone of the medial side of the forearm. The radius is the bone of the lateral side of the forearm. These bones are all proximal to the phalanges.
Example Question #322 : Gross Anatomy
Arrange the following bones in order from most proximal to most distal: humerus, phalanges, radius, and ulna.
ulna, humerus, radius, phalanges
humerus, ulna, radius, phalanges
phalanges, humerus, radius, ulna
phalanges, ulna, radius, humerus
humerus, ulna, radius, phalanges
The humerus is the bone of the upper arm and is most proximal of these four bones; it articulates proximally with the scapula and distally with the radius and ulna. The ulna is the bone of the medial side of the forearm; it articulates proximally with the humerus and radius and distally with the radius. The radius is the bone of the lateral side of the forearm and crosses the ulna during pronation. Phalanges, the digits of the hand, are the most distal bones of the upper limb.
Example Question #323 : Gross Anatomy
Which of the following articulates proximally with the scapula and distally with the radius and ulna?
humerus
phalanges
tibia
clavicle
humerus
The humerus is the bone of the upper arm; it articulates proximally with the scapula and distally with the radius and ulna. The ulna is the bone of the medial side of the forearm; it articulates proximally with the humerus and radius and distally with the radius. The radius is the bone of the lateral side of the forearm and crosses the ulna during pronation.
Phalanges, the digits of the hand, are the most distal bones of the upper limb. The clavicle is an S-shaped bone located between the sternum and the scapula.
The tibia is located in the lower limb.
