Example Question #21 : Identifying Bones Of The Lower Extremities
The __________ make up the body of the hand between the wrist and the projection of the fingers.
metcarpals
carpals
phalanges
metatarsals
tarsals
metcarpals
The metacarpals are analogous to the metatarsals of the foot and make up the body of the hand between the wrist and the projection of the fingers. The carpals are the eight wrist bones. The tarsals and metatarsals make up the ankle and the body of the foot, respectively. The phalanges are the bones of the fingers and toes.
Example Question #22 : Identifying Bones Of The Lower Extremities
Which of the following anatomical relationships is correct?
The scapula is located anteriorly to the clavicle.
The fibula is located laterally to the tibia.
The femur is located distally to the tibia.
The calcaneus is located proximally to the fibula.
The manubrium is located inferiorly to the sternum.
The fibula is located laterally to the tibia.
The only correct statement in the answer choices is "The fibula is located laterally to the tibia."
The other statements are incorrect for the following reasons:
1) The femur is located distally to the tibia.
The femur is located proximally to the tibia, not distally.
2) The scapula is located anteriorly to the clavicle.
The scapula is located posteriorly to the clavicle, not anteriorly.
3) The calcaneus is located proximally to the fibula.
The calcaneus is located distally to the fibula, not proximally.
4) The manubrium is located inferiorly to the sternum.
The manubrium is located superiorly to the sternum, not inferiorly.
Example Question #71 : Bones
The medial malleolus is part of which bone?
Femur
Calcaneus
Tibia
Talus
Fibula
Tibia
The medial malleolus is located on the inferiomedial aspect of the tibia. The fibula is on the lateral aspect of the lower limb. The talus and calcaneus are in the foot. The femur is in the upper portion of the leg.
Example Question #72 : Bones
On which bone is the greater trochanter?
Scapula
Femur
Fibula
Tibia
Humerus
Femur
The correct answer is the femur. The greater trochanter is located on the superolateral aspect of the femur. The tibia and fibula is in the lower leg. The humerus is in the upper portion of the arm. The scapula is the "shoulder blade."
Example Question #73 : Bones
On which bone is the lesser trochanter?
Femur
Scaphoid
Tibia
Sternum
Patella
Femur
The correct answer is the femur. The lesser trochanter is on the superolateral portion of the femur. The tibia is in the lower leg. The sternum is in the chest. The patella is the knee cap. The scaphoid is in the wrist.
Example Question #23 : Identifying Bones Of The Lower Extremities
Which two bones make up the lower leg, commonly known as the shin?
Femur and tibia
Radius and ulna
Patella and tibia
Fibia and tibula
Tibia and fibula
Tibia and fibula
The tibia and fibula are the two main lower leg bones, and make up the "shin". The femur is the thigh bone, located proximal to the lower leg. The patella is commonly known as the "knee cap" and does not make up the bones of the lower leg in this question. Be careful not to make the common spelling errors: tibula and fibia are not real structures.
Example Question #24 : Identifying Bones Of The Lower Extremities
All of these muscles flex the leg at the knee joint and extend the thigh at the hip joint except __________.
biceps femoris muscle
hamstring muscles
semimembranosus muscle
tensor fasciae latae muscle
semitendinosus muscle
tensor fasciae latae muscle
The "hamstring" muscles consist of the biceps femoris, semitendinosus, and semimembranosus all of which are flexors of the leg at the knee joint and extensors of the thigh at the hip joint. The tensor fasciae latae muscle is involved in stabilizing the pelvic girdle while walking or running.
Example Question #76 : Bones
The __________ are the seven bones that make up the ankle.
tarsals
metacarpals
metatarsals
carpals
tarsals
The tarsals are the seven bones that make up the ankle. The metatarsals are analogous to the metacarpals of the hand and make up the body of the foot. The carpals are the eight wrist bones. The metacarpals make up the body of the hand.
Example Question #77 : Bones
The __________ make up the body of the foot.
tarsals
carpals
metatarsals
metacarpals
metatarsals
The metatarsals are analogous to the metacarpals of the hand and make up the body of the foot. The tarsals are the seven bones that make up the ankle. The carpals and metacarpals make up the wrist and body of the hand, respectively.
Example Question #78 : Bones
The __________ are the bones of the fingers and toes.
tarsals
carpals
metatarsals
phalanges
phalanges
The phalanges are the bones of the fingers and toes. The carpals make up the wrist. The tarsals and metatarsals make up the ankle and the body of the foot, respectively.
