1) What bones comprise the appendicular skeleton?
1) consists of the bones of the appendages
- upper and lower limbs
- the bones that hold the limbs to the trunk of the body.

Appendicular bones:
3) The appendicular skeleton is only those bones that would be part of the arms or legs; True (A) or False (B)
3) False
5) The maxilla, zygomatic, nasal, lacrimal and vomer would all be considered bones of the;
5) Face.
6) The ribs and sternum together form the;
6) Thoracic cage.
7) What bones surround and enclose the brain?
7) Cranial bones
8) What bones form the bones of the face?
8) Facial bones, maxilla zygomatic, nasal, lacrimal, and vomer.

11) Where would you find the bones of the axial skeleton?
11) Along the central axis of the body
12) The lower jaw is known as the;
12) Mandible.
13) What spinal deformation is due to an exaggerated lumbar curvature?
13) Lordosis.
14) Why would there be more individual bones in the skeleton of a very young child?
14) Because as you age bones fuse together.
Fusion hasn’t happened.
15) The prominent chin of the mandible is called the;
15) Mental protuberance.
16) Which of the following is not one of the functions of the bones of the skeleton;
16) The bones of the skeleton form an internal framework to support soft tissues, protect vital organs, bear the body’s weight, and help us move.*
17) The end of the chin is a region of the mandible called the; _____________area (from lab)
17) Mental.
18) In your work in lab so far, where would you find bones that do not have specific names?
18) Sutural Wormian bones.
19) The last two pairs of ribs (11 and 12) are called;
19) Floating ribs/ False ribs.
20) Which of the cavities of the brain is the largest?
20) Cranial.
21) What are the functions of the cranium?
21) Surrounds & encloses the brain, supports and protects.
22) The cranium completely surrounds and encloses the brain; True (A) or False (B)
22) True.
23) Which of the following is not a bone found in the axial skeleton:

25) True.
26) What spinal deformation is commonly called “swayback”?
26) Lordosis.

31) False.
32) What type of tissue holds cranial bones together in a suture?
32) *???
33) A tubular passageway through a thick bone is known as a;
33) Canal: meatus.
34) Which of the following is not a cranial bone;
34) Parietal, frontal, sphenoid, temporal, occipital, ethmoid.
35) What are the functions of sutures in newborn babies?
35) Allows cranium to grow & expand- and at birth it allows the flexibility to squeeze through the birth canal.
36) When someone says that they know someone who has broken their back (or spine), what they really meant to say was that they fractured one of the bones of their;
36) Vertebral column.
