How is the arm held clear of the widest dimension of the thoracic cage?
Clavicle serves as an anterior base or strut to hold the arm away from the top of the thorax
What is the total number of phalanges in the hand?
14
What is the total number of carpal in the wrist?
8
Name the carpals (medial to lateral) in the proximal row.

Descriptive terms for the pectoral girdle
1. Flexibility most important
2. Lightweight
3. Insecure axial and limb attachments
Descriptive terms for the pelvic girdle
1. Massive
2. Secure axial and limb attachments
3. Weight-bearing most important
What organs are protected, at least in part, by the pelvic girdle?
Uterus, urinary bladder, rectum, small intestine, reproductive organs
Distinguish between the true pelvis and the false pelvise
True pelvis - Small bowl-like shape containing the urinary bladder and sexual organs
False pelvis - Area between alla (wings of pelvis) - contains some abdominal organs
Difference between male and female pelvis
Female pelvis: further apart than males, scrum is wider, shorter, and less curved than males, pelvic inlet is wider, oval from side-to-side
Deduce why the pelvic bones of a four-legged animal such as the cat or pig are much less massive than those of the human.
Pelvic bones of two-legged animals have to carry more weight (divided by 2)
Four-legged animals divides it's weight over four legs
A person instinctively curls over his abdominal area in times of danger. Why?
To present a smaller target
To protect internal organs and genitalia
For what anatomical reason do many women appear to be slightly knock-kneed?
Women have wider pelvises than men and the angle of the hips turn the legs slightly inward.
How might the anatomical arrangement of the hips contribute to knee injuries in female athletes?
Can be more prone to knee related injuries due to high intensity knee landing or impact since the knee is already in a weak position
