The axial skeleton can be divided into the skull, the vertebral
column,
and the:
a. thoracic cage c. hip bones
b.
femur d. humerus
a. thoracic cage
Eight bones make up the , which encloses and protects
the
brain.
a. cranium b. face c. skull
a. cranium
The vertebrae articulate with the corresponding ribs.
a.
cervical c. spinal
b. lumbar d. thoracic
d. thoracic
The , commonly referred to as the breastbone, is a flat
bone
formed by the fusion of three bones: the manubrium, the body,
and the xiphoid process.
a. coccyx b. sacrum c. sternum
c. sternum
A fontanelle:
a. is found only in the fetal skull
b. is a
fibrous membrane
c. allows for compression of the skull during
birth
d. all of the above
d. all of the above
The axial skeleton can be subdivided into three parts:
the skull, the vertebral colun1n, and the thoracic cage.
Frontal (1)
N/A
Supraorbital margin
Supraorbital foramen (notch)
Glabella
Forms the forehead, superior part of the orbit, and the floor of
the anterior cranial fossa.
Thick margin of the eye socket that
lies beneath the eyebrows.
Opening above each orbit allowing
blood vessels and nerves to pass.
Smooth area between the eyes.
Parietal
Form the superior and lateral aspects of the skull.
Temporal
Form the inferolateral aspects of the skull and contribute 10 the
middle cranial
Iossa; each has squamous, tympanic, and petrous parts.
