QuestionAnswer
The term vertebrosternal ribs refer to the “false ribs” that attach to each other before they attach to the sternum. T/F False because vertebrosternal is referred to as true, the superior seven rib pairs attach DIRECTLY to the sternum by individual costal cartilages. Vertebrochondral ribs is the correct term that refers to the false ribs.
The shallow socket of the shoulder joint restricts dislocation of the humerus and is the main contributor to the stability of the joint. T/F? This is false, because the glenoid fossa is so shallow, it does not contribute much to the stability of the shoulder joint. Rather, muscles (specifically the rotator cuff) and glenohumeral ligaments are the main contributors to the joint's stability.
The temporal bone connects to the zygomatic bone via the temporal process of the temporal bone. T/F False, The temporal bone does connect to the zygomatic bone; however, it is through the zygomatic process that the two bones connect.
The largest and strongest bone of the face is the maxilla. (T/F) This is False, the largest and strongest bone of the face is the mandible, not the maxilla.
The frontal bone articulates with the parietal bone by means of the sagittal suture. True or False False- Frontal bone: This is the bone that forms your forehead and the front part of the skull. Parietal bones: These are two large bones that form the sides and top of your skull.
The femur is the largest and strongest bone in the body. T/F True
The most common site of fracture in the humerus is the surgical neck which is distal to the anatomical neck? T/F True
The vertebral column is held in place primarily by the anterior and posterior longitudal ligaments. T/F True

The frontal bone articulates with the parietal bone by means of the sagittal suture? T/F False
The tubercle of a rib articulates with the transverse. T/F True
Costal cartilages join most ribs to the sternum. T/F True
In the anatomical position, the lateral forearm bone us the radius. T/F True
The ischium articulates with both the ilium and the pubis forming the acetabulum. T/F True
The lacrimal bone contains a groove that forms part of the lacrimal fossa along with the soft tissue of the lacrimal sac, these structures drain tears from the eye into the nasal passage? T/F True
The shallow socket of the shoulder joint restricts dislocatioh of the humerus and is the main contributor to the stability of the joint? T/F False

wave temporal summation results if 2 stimuli are received by a muscle rapid succession -muscle don't have time to completely relax between stimuli
if stimuli frequency increases muscle tension reaches near maximum -produces smooth, continuous contractions -further increase in stimulus frequency causes muscle to progress to sustained
