Short answer questions
69. Briefly describe the five categories of bones found in the human body based on the shape of the
bones.
Correct Answer:
Difficulty: Medium
Section Reference 1: Sec 7.2 Types of Bones.
Solution: The human body contains five types of bones based on shape. Long bones have greater length
than width and consist of a shaft and a variable number of extremities. Short bones are somewhat cube-
shaped because they are nearly equal in length and width. Flat bones are generally thin and composed of
two nearly parallel plates of compact bones tissue enclosing a layer of spongy bone tissue. Irregular
bones have complex shapes and cannot be grouped into any of the previous categories. Sesamoid bones
develop in certain tendons where there is considerable friction, tension and physical stress and are
shaped similarly to a sesame seed.
70. Briefly describe the bones that make up the orbit of the eye. Include a description of the portion of
the orbit formed by each bone.
Correct Answer:
Difficulty: Medium

Study Objective 3: SO 7.4.3 Identify the location and surface features of the frontal bone.
lacrimal, palatine, interior nasal conchae, vomer, maxillae, zygomatic, and mandible
Section Reference 1: Sec 7.4 Skull.
Solution: Parts of the frontal and sphenoid bones comprise the roof of the orbit. Parts of the zygomatic
and sphenoid bones form the lateral wall of the orbit. Parts of the maxilla, zygomatic and palatine bones
make up the floor of the orbit. Parts of the maxilla, lacrimal, ethmoid, and sphenoid bones form the
medial wall of the orbit.
71. Briefly describe the location of the four most prominent sutures of the skull including the articulating
bones.
Correct Answer:
Difficulty: Medium
Solution: The coronal suture unites the frontal bone and both parietal bones. The sagittal suture unites
the two parietal bones on the superior midline of the skull. The lambdoid suture unites the two parietal
bones to the occipital bone. The squamous sutures unite the parietal and temporal bones on the lateral
aspects of the skull.
72. Briefly describe the function of the fontanels.
Correct Answer:
Difficulty: Medium
Solution: The fontanels are important in allowing flexibility during childbirth and allow brain growth
after birth.
73. Briefly describe the function of the paranasal sinuses.
Correct Answer:
Difficulty: Medium
Solution: The sinuses lighten the skull and contain a mucous membrane lining that helps moisten and
clean inspired air. The sinus also aid in enhancing the quality of the voice by acting as resonating
chambers
74. Briefly describe the six fontanels of the infant skull including their location, shape and time of
closure.
Correct Answer:
Difficulty: Hard
Learning Objective 1: 7.4 Describe the cranial and facial bones and their main features.
Learning Objective 2: 7.4.2 Describe the following special features of the skull: sutures, paranasal
Solution: The unpaired anterior fontanel is located at the midline between the two parietal bones and the
frontal bone. It is roughly diamond shaped and is the largest fontanel. It usually closes 18-24 months
after birth. The unpaired posterior fontanel is located at the midline between the two parietal bones and
the occipital bone. It is smaller than the anterior fontanel and closes about 2 months after birth. The
paired anterolateral fontanels are located laterally between the frontal, parietal, temporal and sphenoid
bones and are smaller in shape. They close about 3 months after birth. The paired posterolateral
fontanels are located laterally between the parietal, occipital and temporal bones and are irregularly
shaped. They begin to close 1 to 2 months after birth, but closure is not complete until 12 months.
75. List and describe the number of bones found in all the regions of the adult vertebral column.
Correct Answer:
Difficulty: Medium
Study Objective 1: SO7.6 Identify the regions and normal curves of the vertebral column and describe
Section Reference 1: Sec 7.6 Vertebral Column.
Solution: There are seven cervical vertebrae in the neck region. There are twelve thoracic vertebrae
posterior to the thoracic cavity. The five lumbar vertebrae support the lower back. There is one sacrum
consisting of five fused sacral vertebrae. There is one coccyx (tail bone. consisting of four fused
coccygeal vertebrae.
