Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Let's start with a small bone...the patella. What is the anatomical name for this type of bone?

Answer: Sesamoid bone

Sesamoids are small, round bones; long bones are bones such as the humerus or femur; short bones are small bones found throughout the body like the carpal or tarsal bones; tuberosities are large "bumps" found on bones.
2. The supraorbital margins are part of the skull:

Answer: Behind the eyebrows

Supra--above; and orbital--the eyes
3. When the palm is facing up(or is supinated), the radius is crossed over the ulna.

Answer: False

To remember these terms: Supination is holding the hand palm up. When you hold a cup of "soup," you are holding it palm up; pronation is holding the hand palm down. When you are a "pro" basketball player, you dribble the ball palm down.
4. Which of these is definitely not part of the bones in the hand or arm?

Answer: Tarsals

Carpal--wrist (think carpal tunnel syndrome); tarsal--foot.
5. If I went to the doctor to have my talus bone checked, I would remove:

Answer: My shoe

The talus bone is one of the bones of the foot: talus, calcaneus, navicular, cuboid, middle cuneiform, intermediate cuneiform, and lateral cuneiform.
6. The male pelvic bones are structurally different from the female pelvic bones.

Answer: True

The female pelvic bones are arranged to have a wider space between them to aid in childbirth. The male coccyx is also longer and thinner than the female coccyx.
7. Here's a little anatomy of a bone--the end of a bone is actually termed the:

Answer: Epiphysis

The epiphysis is covered by a layer of articular cartilage, which helps to cushion not only the bone it covers but also the articulating bone.
8. A vertebra with a heart-shaped body, a circular vertebral foramen, and a long, skinny spinous process is a:

Answer: thoracic vertebra

The cervical vertebrae can be distinguished by being the only ones with a transverse foramen; lumbar vertebrae are overall larger and bulkier in appearance; sacral vertebrae actually fuse together early in life to form the sacrum.
9. When performing CPR, I must watch where I put my hands during chest compressions because a certain part of a bone might puncture the liver if I put pressure on it. What is the name of this area, and what bone is it found on?

Answer: The xyphoid process of the sternum

The xyphoid process is the curved, pointed edge on the end of the body of the sternum. Because the tip points to the inside of the body, downward pressure might drive the tip into the liver, puncturing it.
10. The superior (top) row of teeth are mounted into which of these facial bones?

Answer: Maxillary

The maxillary bone is the "mouth bone" that the top row of teeth are anchored to; the bottom row is anchored to the mandible, or "jawbone;" the temporal bone is located in the temple area of the skull; the lacrimal bones are the bones on which the tear ducts can be found.
