LET’S PRACTICE!
There will be no identification questions on this practice test, but there will be on the midterm exam. Images on
the midterm exam will be the same as those on your handouts. There will also be several surface landmark questions, for which you’ll be shown projected photographs (and sometimes drawings) of human subjects.

Circle the correct answer:
The CERVICAL / THORACIC / LUMBAR vertebrae are found in the neck.
The ZYGOMATIC / MAXILLA / MANDIBLE bone is also known as the cheekbone.
The lower teeth rest in cavities in the MAXILLA / MANDIBLE / ORBITS.
The thumb is on the RADIAL / ULNAR side of the forearm.
The occipital bone is on the ANTERIOR / POSTERIOR / LATERAL side of the head.
The hard bump on the back of the arm that we describe as the “elbow” is actually the
MEDIAL EPIDCONDYLE / CORANOID PROCESS / OLECRANON PROCESS of the ulna.
When the forearm is in supine position, the radius and the ulna are PARALLEL / CROSSED.
The heel of the foot is formed by the TALUS / COCCYX / CALCANEOUS bone.
The auditory meatus is in the ZYGOMATIC / TEMPORAL / OCCIPITAL bone.
The SACRAL FORAMEN / AUDITORY FORAMEN / FORAMEN MAGNUM is the large hole at the base of the skull
through which the spinal cord travels.
The head of the humerus rests against a shallow depression in the scapula known as the
ACETABULUM / GLENOID FOSSA / ALVEOLUS.
The head of the femur rests in the ACETABULUM / GLENOID FOSSA / ALVEOLUS of the ilium.
The bones of the ankle are collectively known as the RADIAL / CARPAL / TARSAL bones.
The CERVICAL / THORACIC / LUMBAR vertebrae articulate with the ribs.
The upper teeth rest in cavities in the MAXILLA / MANDIBLE / ORBITS.
The opening in the temporal bone that leads to the inner ear is known as the
FORAMEN MAGNUM / AUDITORY MEATUS / SUPRAORBITAL FORAMEN.
The RADIUS / ULNA is wider at its distal end and articulates mostly with the carpal bones.
The inguinal ligament runs from the pubic tubercle to the
GREATER TROCHANTER / COCCYX / ANTERIOR SUPERIOR ILIAC SPINE.
