Which one of the following bones is located in the upper leg?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The upper leg (thigh) contains the femur, the longest bone, from hip to knee. The fibula and tibia are lower leg bones, and the radius is in the forearm, making 'Femur' the correct answer.

Which one of the following is the primary function of sesamoid bones?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Sesamoid bones (e.g., patella) are embedded in tendons, absorbing impact and protecting tendons during flexion (e.g., knee movement). B, C, and D apply to other bone types, making 'Absorb impact forces and protect tendons as they flex' correct.

Which one of following statements best describes 'Extension' movement at a joint?
