1- Why is the sphenoid bone named the keystone of the cranial bones? 2- Name the bones that articulate with the sphenoid bone, starting at the crista galli of the ethmoid bone and going in a clockwise direction. 3- Which curves of the adult vertebral column are concave (relative to the anterior side of the body)? 4- What is the purpose of the anatomical curvature of the vertebral column? 5- Which parts of the humerus articulate with the radius at the elbow? With the ulna at the elbow? 6- Fractures of the humerus may cause impairment of arm and hand movements. 7- Why is the angle of convergence of the femurs greater in females than males? 8- Where is the weakest point of the femur? 9- Where are the transverse foramina found? The articular facets? 10- What is the function of processes and spines in the vertebrae?

1. Match the description with the bony landmark: 1. Forms the tip of the elbow. 2. Process of the radius palpated at the wrist. 3. Process of the ulna palpated on the medial aspect of the elbow. A. Medial epicondyle B. Olecranon C. Styloid process 2. Match the description with the bone: 1. Three bones fuse to form this bone of the pelvis. 2. Bone that the pelvis rests on when sitting. 3. Most anterior bone of the os coxa. 4. "Hip" bone. 5. Large hole in the os coxa. 6. Structure that articulates with the femur at the hip. A. Acetabulum B. Ilium C. Ischium D. Obturator foramen E. Os coxa F. Pubic bone

(Q002) Review the vertebral column and individual vertebrae from Exercise 3 (p. 166 of your lab manual). What similarities and differences do you notice between the three major types of vertebrae? Why might these similarities exist? Why might these differences exist? Humans do not have tails, so we do not have caudal vertebrae (the vertebrae that make up the tail). However, many other primates do have these vertebrae. Based on what you know about the other kinds of vertebrae, what would you expect caudal vertebrae to look like? Compare your estimation to images of caudal vertebrae in your classroom, online, or in books. How accurate was your estimation?
