The 8th, 9th, and 10th ribs are ribs.
Tap to reveal answer
The 8th, 9th, and 10th ribs are false ribs in that they do not articulate directly with the sternum, but with a cartilage which articulates with the sternum. The first seven ribs are true ribs, in that they articulate with the sternum at the readily observable costal (rib) notches. The 11th and 12th ribs are floating ribs, in that they do not connect at all to the sternum.

Which of the following landmarks is not part of the femur?
Tap to reveal answer
The linea aspera, gluteal tuberosity, and adductor tubercle are all landmarks found on the femur. The linea aspera is an attachment site for the adductor muscle group and the vastus medialis and vastus lateralis. A portion of the gluteus maximus attaches to the gluteal tuberosity. The adductor magnus attaches to the adductor tubercle. The soleal line is part of the tibia and serves as an attachment site for the soleus muscle.

Which of the bones of the skull forms most of the superior and lateral faces of the cranium?
Which of the bones of the skull forms most of the superior and lateral faces of the cranium?
Tap to reveal answer
The parietal bones (one on each side of the skull) form a shield-shaped dome across the top of the skull, creating most of the bulging sides and top of the cranium. The parietal bones are useful in distinguishing the skulls of modern man from Australopithecine ancestors. The bone has a large opening, the parietal foramen, through which blood supply and nerves enter.

Which of these bones is classified as a long bone?
Which of these bones is classified as a long bone?
Tap to reveal answer
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.
