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.
