| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Raises area on lateral surface of humerus to which deltoid muscle attaches | Deltoid tuberosity |
| Arm bone | Humerus |
| Bones composing the shoulder girdle | Clavicle and scapula |
| Forearm bones | Ulna and radius |
| Point where scapula and clavicle connect | Acromin |
| Shoulder girdle bone that has no attachment to the axial skeleton | Scapula |
| Shoulder girdle bone that articulates anteriorly with the sternum | Clavicle |
| Socket in the scapula for the arm bone | Gleniod cavity |
| Process above the glenoid cavity that permits muscle attachment | Coracoid process |
| Commonly called the collar bone | Clavicle |
| Distal medial process of the humerus ; joins the ulna | Trochlea |
| Medial bone of the forearm in anatomical position | Ulna |
| Rounded knob on the humerus that articulates with the radius | Captiulum |
| Anterior depression; superior to the trochlea; receives part of the ulna when the fire arm is flexed | Coronoid fossa |
| Forearm bone involved in formation of elbow joint | Ulna |
| Bones that articulate with the clavicle | Scapula and sternum |
| Bones of the wrist | Carpals |
| Bones of the fingers and toes | Phalanges |
| Heads of these bones from the knuckles | Metacarpals |
| Structure that encloses the nerve cord | Vertebral arch |
| Weight bearing part of the vertebra | Body |
| Provides levers for the muscles to pull against | Spinous process |
| Provides an articulation point for the ribs | Transverse process |
| Openings allowing spinal nerves to pass | Intervertebral formania |
| Vertebra containing foramina in the transverse processes, through which the vertebral arteries ascend to reach the brain | Atlas |
| Provides a pivot for rotation for the first cervical vertebra | Axis |
| Transverse processes have facets for articulation with ribs; spinous process points sharply downward | Thoracic vertebra |
| Composite bone; articulates with the hip bone laterally | Sacrum |
| Massive vertebra; weight sustaining | Lumbar vertebrae |
| Tail bone ; vestigal fused vertebrae | Coccyx |
| Supports the head; allows the rocking motion of the occipital condyles | Atlas |
| Seven components; unfused | Cervical vertebrae |
| Twelve components; unfused | Thoracic vertebrae |
| Fused to form the coxal bone | Illium, ischium, pubis |
| Receives the weight of the body when sitting | Ischial tuberosity |
| Point where the coxal bones join anteriorly | Pubic symphysis |
| Upper margin of iliac bones | Iliac crest |
| Deep socket in the coxal bone that receives the head of the femur | Acetabulum |
| Point where axial skeleton attaches to the pelvic gridle | Sacroiliac joint |
| Longest bone in the body , articulates with the coxal bone | Femur |
| Lateral bone of the leg | Fibula |
| Medial bone of the leg | Tibia |
| Bones forming knee joint | Femur and patella |
| Point where the patellar ligament attaches | Tibial tuberosity |
| Kneecap | Patella |
| Shin bone | Tibia |
| Distal process on medial tibial surface | Medial malleolus |
| Process forming the outer ankle | Lateral malleolus |
| Heel bone | Calcaneus |
| Bones of the ankle | Tarsals |
| Bones forming the instep of the foot | Metatarsals |
| Opening in a coxal bone formed by the pubic and ischial rami | Obturator foramen |
| Sites of muscle attachment on the proximal end of the femur | Greater and lesser trochanters |
| Tarsal bone that articulates with the tibia | Talus |
| Forehead bone | Frontal |
| Cheek bone | Zygomatic |
| Lower jaw | Mandible |
| Bridge of nose | Nasals |
| Posterior part of the hard palate | Palatines |
| Much of the lateral and superior cranium | Parietals |
| Most posterior part of cranium | Occipital |
| Single, irregular, bat shaped bone, forming part of the cranial floor | Sphenoid |
| Tiny bones, bearing ducts | Lacrimals |
| Anterior part of the hard palate | Maxillae |
| Superior and middle nasal conchae formed from its projections | Ethmoid |
| Site of mastoid process | Temporal |
| Site of the sella turcica | Sphenoid |
| Site of cribriform plate | Ethmoid |
| Site of mental foramen | Mandible |
| Site of styloid | Temporal |
| It's condolences articulate with the atlas | Occipital |
| Foramen magnum contained here | Occipital |
| Middle of the ear | Temporal |
| Nasal septum | Vomer |
| Bears an upward protrusion, the cocks comb; or crusts galli | Ethmoid |
| Site of external acoustic meatus | Temporals |
