|
Red bone marrow is located in the following adult bone cavities except |
Medullary cavity of femur
|
|
These bones are formed by intramembranous ossification |

1. Hematoma formation 2. Fibrocartilaginous callus formation 3. Bony callus formation 4. Remodeling of bony callus |
|
This bone disease is characterized by excessive bone deposition and resorption |
Paget's disease |
|
These are true about the skeleton except |
They are joined together by tendons |
|
This is the only craniofacial bone that is not joined by sutures |

Which of these bones doesn't belong in the appendicular skeleton |
Axis |
|
The glabella is found in this cranial bone |
Frontal |
|
This suture joins the temporal and parietal bones |

|
This cranial bone contains a large opening through which the brain connects to the spinal cord |

|
This part of the occipital bone articulates with the superior articular facet of the axis |

This part of the sphenoid bone houses the pituitary gland |
Sella turcica |
|
This is the only bone that does not articulate directly with any other bones and acts as a movable base for the tongue |

Ilium |
|
This bone of the appendicular skeleton is one of the easily fractured due to its location, is also homologue of the wishbone or furcula |

Articular disks |
|
This is the most important factor stabilizing the synovial joints |
Muscle tone |
|
This is a type of pivot joint |
Atlanto-axial joint |
|
This acts as restraining straps to help anterior-posterior displacement of the knees |
