Multiple Choice Questions About Skeletal System Questions

Question 1 of 5

Bones of the skull develop from the process of intramembranous ossification.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Skull bones (e.g., frontal, parietal) form via intramembranous ossification from fibrous membranes, unlike long bones (endochondral). This is standard development, making 'True' correct.

Question 2 of 5

The female pelvis is wider and more shallow than the male pelvis.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The female pelvis is wider and shallower to accommodate childbirth, with flared ilia and a broader pubic angle. This is accurate, making 'True' correct.

Question 3 of 5

The teeth are held in their sockets by a fibrous joint.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Teeth are anchored in sockets (gomphosis) by periodontal ligaments, a type of fibrous joint. This is accurate, making 'True' correct.

Question 4 of 5

Which one of the following bones is not part of the Axial Skeleton?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The axial skeleton includes the skull, vertebral column (vertebrae), sternum, and ribs, forming the body’s central axis. The ulna, a forearm bone, is part of the appendicular skeleton (limbs and girdles), making 'Ulna' the correct answer for what is not axial.

Question 5 of 5

Which one of the following are the two bones located in the forearm?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The forearm contains two bones: the radius (lateral) and ulna (medial). Scapula and clavicle are pectoral girdle, cranium and sternum are axial, and tarsals/carpals are ankle/wrist, making 'Radius and Ulna' correct.
