The Skeletal System

We’ve talked about the

skeletal system in our Anatomy
and Physiology - LEC . Take the
quiz and find out how much you
have remembered!
Bones meet at:
a. Ligaments
b. Joints
c. Muscles
d. Vessels
The bones in your spine are called:
a. Cartilage
b. Little bones
c. Ribs
d. Vertebrae
Vertebrae
How many bones are in the spine?
a. 1 million
b. 65
c. 33
d. 14
Before birth, the spine consists of 33
separated bones, but 9 of these
eventually fuse .
The bone that protects our brain:
a. Lobes
b. Skull
c. Vertebral Column
d. Frontal and temporal bones
The rib cage protects your:
a. Liver
b. Heart
c. Lungs
d. All of the above
 The rib cage is one of the body’s
best defenses against injury from
impact. Flexible yet strong, the rib
cage protects major vital organs such
as the heart, lungs, and liver.
What are 4 types of
connective tissue?
What connective tissue is found at the ends of
bones and helps cushion joints?
a. Cartilage
b. Joints
c. Ligaments
d. Tendons
What is an example of a pivot joint?
a. Head and Neck
b. Elbows and Knees
c. Shoulder and hips
d. Tarsals and metatarsals
How many bones are there in a human head?
a. 29
b. 8
c. 14
d. 6
 There are 29 bones in the human
head. They consist of 8 cranial bones, 14
facial bones, the hyoid bone, and 6
auditory (ear) bones.
The 8 cranial bones are the frontal, 2 parietal, occipital, 2 temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid
bones.
 The 14 facial bones are the 2 maxilla,
mandible, 2 zygomatic, 2 lacrimal, 2 nasal,
2 turbinate, vomer and 2 palate bones.
The hyoid bone is horseshoe-shaped bone at
the base of the tongue.
The 6 auditory ossicles (little bones) are the malleus,
incus and stapes in each ear.
How many bones are there in adult body?
a. 300
b. 600
c. 206
d. 270
What is the other name of your collar bone?
a. Scapula
b. Patella
c. Clavicle
d. Sternum
The trunk or torso has a total of how many
bones?
a. 51
b. 26
c. 24
d. 12
• There are 51 trunk bones:
• 26 vertebrae
– 7 cervical
– 12 thoracic
– 5 lumbar vertebrae
– sacrum
– coccyx
• 24 ribs
– 14 true ribs
– 6 false ribs
– 4 floating ribs
• Sternum (breastbone)
Which of the following are correctly matched?
Select all that apply.
a. Short bone ---- Wrist
b. Long bone ---- Leg
c. Irregular bone ---- Sternum
d. Flat bone --- Skull
Mature bone cells are called____________
Osteocytes

Bone Remodeling and Modeling

:
In the video, it emphasizes the importance of
good nutrition and exercise. Also note, that
disuse such as that caused paralysis or severe
lack of exercise results in muscle or bone
atrophy (wasting and thinning).
When you hear articulation in anatomy, this
means _____________________
An articulation, or joint, is where two bones
come together.

You have heard/ read terms in anatomy such as

projection, depression and opening. What does
these terms mean?
• A projection is an area of a bone that projects
above the surface of the bone.

• A hole is an opening or groove in the bone

that allows blood vessels and nerves to enter
the bone.

• A depression is an area that sunk below like a

fossa.
 Take another quiz to exercise your brain and
prevent brain atrophy… LOL
