1) Which of the following is an example of flat bone ?
Answer: RIBS
the ribs are curved and flat bones
• The carpals (wrist) are short bones
• the femur (thigh) are long bones
• The radius (in the forearm) is a long bones
Which of the following functions is a combination of the skeletal and muscular systems?
Answer: BODY MOVEMENT
Why ? Skeletal and muscle systems involved in body movement. The muscles attach to bone for
movement. The skeletal system by itself stores calcium, blood cell protection and protects organs
Bone Tissue is which type of tissue ?
ANSWER: Connective tissue
Why ? Cells are spaced out and surrounded by extra cellular matrix

Which of the following is the shaft of a long bone for ?
ANSWER: Diaphysis
Why?
Spongy bone is found at the ends of long bone. Articulate cartilage cover the end of long bone. The
epiphysis is the ends of long bone
Which of the following layer of long bone attached to ligaments ?

ANSWER: osteogenesis imperfecta
Why ?
Arthritis is inflammation of a joint
Rickets is softening and weak bones due to Vit d deficiency
Osteonecrosis is death of bone due to decrease in blood flow
Which of the following bones would be found in the axial skeleton?
ANSWER: sternum
Why ?
The axial Skelton includes the skull, ribs and sternum and vertebrae column
