The process of endochondral ossification uses a model of to form bones.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Endochondral ossification forms bones (e.g., long bones) from a hyaline cartilage model, which ossifies over time. Fibrocartilage is in joints, fibrous membranes are for intramembranous ossification, and adipose is fat, making 'hyaline cartilage' correct.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The hard palate, the mouth’s roof, is formed by the maxillae (anterior) and palatine bones (posterior). The mandible is the lower jaw, zygomatic the cheek, and vomer the nasal septum, making 'maxillae: palatine' correct.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The hyoid, a U-shaped bone in the neck above the larynx, supports the tongue and lacks articulation with other bones. The thyroid is cartilage, zygomatic arch is facial, and clavicle is pectoral, making 'hyoid' correct.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Ribs are classified: 7 vertebrosternal (true, attach directly to sternum via cartilage), 3 vertebrochondral (false, attach via shared cartilage), and 2 vertebral (floating, no sternal attachment). '7-3-2' is correct.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The carpals are the 8 wrist bones, forming the carpus. Metacarpals are hand, metatarsals are foot, and tarsals are ankle, making 'carpals' correct.
