Multiple choice evs our skeletal system and the skin bones and movements joints in the human body joints

Which of the following does not have corresponding bones?

  1. Pelvic and pectoral girdle

  2. Atlas and coccyx

  3. Carpals and tarsals

  4. Humerous and femur

B Correct answer
Explanation

The atlas ($C _1$) is the most superior (first) cervical vertebra of the spine. The atlas's chief peculiarity is that it has no body. It is ring like and consists of an anterior and a posterior arch and two lateral masses. The coccyx commonly referred to as the tailbone is the final segment of the vertebral column in humans and apes. It comprises of three to five separate or fused coccygeal vertebrae below the sacrum. As, both atlas and coccyx are the two first and last bones respectively of the vertebral column they do not have corresponding bones.

So, the correct answer is 'Atlas and coccyx'

Which of following helps in rotation of the neck?

  1. Atlas

  2. Axis

  3. Cervical

  4. Occipital condyle of skull
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

There are 7 cervical vertebrae, $C _1$ - $C _7$.  First cervical vertebrae, i.e., atlas and second cervical vertebrae, i.e., axis, and seventh vertebrae are modified; third through sixth are typical; all contain transverse foramina. Atlas supports head, permits "yes" motion of head at joint between skull and atlas; axis permits "no" motion, i.e., rotation movement at joint between axis and atlas.

Which one of the following is a flat bone?

  1. Carpal

  2. Vertebrae

  3. Incus

  4. Ribs
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation
  • Flat bones are made up of a layer of spongy bone between two thin layers of compact bone. They have a flat shape, not rounded
  • The flat bones are the occipital, parietal, frontal, nasal, lacrimal, vomer, hip bone (coxal bone), sternum, ribs, and scapulae.
  • Hence ribs are flat bones.
  • So, the correct answer is'Ribs'.

C Correct answer
Explanation

The patella, also known as the kneecap, is a thick, circular-triangular bone which articulates with the femur (thigh bone) and covers and protects the anterior articular surface of the knee joint. So, the correct option is C. ( Patella )
