The anterior longitudinal ligament (ALL) runs the length of the vertebral column, connecting the anterior surfaces of all vertebral bodies.  In which position would the ALL be stretched (under the most tension)? extension/hyperextension

What bone and bony landmark articulates with structure A in this image? (You must give the name of the bone AND the specific landmark for full credit.) C1 (atlas), superior articular facets

How is the upper extremity attached to the axial skeleton? sternoclavicular joint

Select all the bones that articulate with this bone. humerus ulna scaphoid lunate

Classify each bone as part of either the axial or appendicular skeleton. atlas – axial scapula – appendicular clavicle – appendicular sacrum – axial trapezoid – appendicular patella – appendicular occipital – axial

Identify the bony landmarks labeled A-D in this image. A – anterior crest B – medial malleolus C – tibial tuberosity D – fibular notch

Identify the bony landmarks and structures labeled A-F in this image. A – jugular notch B – interchondral joint C – costochondral joint D – floating rib E – sternal body F – true rib

Which of the following is TRUE of the sustentaculum tali? It is a medial bony projection of the calcaneus

Describe how you would palpate the acromion process AND the coracoid process of the scapula. Acromion process of the scapula: find the bony prominence at the superior-most aspect of your shoulder/acromial region.  This is the acromioclavicular joint, the lateral portion of which is the acromion process.  You could also locate the spine of the scapula posteriorly and then fingerwalk laterally/superiorly along the spine until you reach the AC joint.  Corocoid process of the scapula: this is a bony prominence located inferior to the lateral curvature of the clavicle.  The best way to palpate this is to fingerwalk laterally on the anterior aspect of your clavicle until you reach the lateral, concave curvature.  The coracoid process can be felt as a bump inferior to the lateral curvature of the clavicle.   

How many articular facets are located on the head of each rib? 2
