Questions About Skeletal System with Answers Questions

Question 1 of 5

Which word stands for the serrated lines connecting cranial bones?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Sutures are the serrated, immovable joints connecting cranial bones, such as the coronal or sagittal sutures. 'Sews' and 'stitches' relate to sewing, not anatomy, making 'sutures' the precise term.

Question 2 of 5

What is the rear-most projection of a vertebra known as?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The spinous process is the rear-most projection of a vertebra, extending from the vertebral arch for muscle and ligament attachment. 'Spine' is too general, and 'spinal' is an adjective, not the structure’s name.

Question 3 of 5

Where can the humerus be found?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The humerus is the single bone of the upper arm, extending from the shoulder to the elbow. The forearm contains the radius and ulna, not the humerus.
