Period 9, Unit 3, Part 3

The appendicular skeleton comprises all of the following except

• bones of the upper limb

• pectoral and pelvic girdles

• thoracic cage and vertebral column

• bones of the lower limb

Which bones compose the pectoral girdle?

• ilium and ischium

• radius and ulna

• scapula and humerus

• clavicle and scapula

The distal end of the humerus has a spool-shaped or pulley-shaped medial articulating surface called the

• trochlea

• capitulum

• condyle

• coronoid process

The proximal end of the ulna that forms the posterior "bump" of the elbow is the

• olecranon

• styloid process

• capitulum

• coronoid process

The sacrum and coccyx of the axial skeleton and the coxal bones of the appendicular skeleton make up a composite structure known as the

• coronoid process

• hip joint

• pectoral girdle

• pelvic girdle

Which three bones fuse to form the coxal bone

• schium, innominate bone, ilium

• ilium, ischium, pubis

• acetabulum, pubis, ischium

• acetabulum, ilium, pubis

In the hip joint, the head of the femur fits snugly into the __________________ of the coxal bone.

Powerful hip muscles insert on the massive, rough processes near the end of the femur known as the greater and lesser

• tuberosities

• tubercles

• trochanters

• gluteal processes

The rough anterior surface of the tibia that serves as the attachment site for the patellar ligament is called the

• tibial tuberosity

• intercondylar eminence

• medial condyle

• anterior crest

The largest of the coxal bones, which forms the superior region of the coxal bone is the _______.
