Which of the following is true of the foramen magnum? It primarily provides passage for the optic nerve. It allows passage of the carotid arteries into the head. It is located on the inferior surface of the occipital bone. It is located between the parietal and occipital bones. It is the second largest foramen in the cranium. Which of the following bones contains the infra-orbital foramen? frontal mandible sphenoid maxilla ethmoid zygomatic

1. What is the significance of the occipital condyles? They articulate with the zygomatic bone, to form a support structure for the cheek. They provide a bony support structure for the pituitary gland. They articulate with the mandible, to allow for chewing movements. They articulate with the first cervical vertebra, to allow head movements with respect to the neck. They are passageways for the internal carotid arteries. 2. What type of synovial joints are metacarpophalangeal joints? Pivot Ball-and-socket Saddle Condylar Hinge 3. True or False When the olecranon fossa of the humerus articulates with the olecranon process of the ulna, it allows a person to straighten the arm at the elbow. 4. Which of the following fontanels are paired, occurring in 2 different places on the fetal skull? Anterior and sphenoidal Mastoid and sphenoidal Mastoid and posterior Anterior and posterior All of the fontanels are paired in the fetal skull. 5. Which of the following is NOT a feature of the humerus? Coronoid process Deltoid tuberosity Capitulum Intertubercular sulcus Surgical neck 6. Which of the following is NOT true of ossification? Intramembranous ossification involves bone formation from hyaline cartilage models. In both intramembranous and endochondral ossification, both spongy and compact bone form. Most bones develop by endochondral ossification. Ossification occurs during fetal growth and childhood. All of these are true of ossification.
