Refer to Figure 4.  Muscles have distinct actions depending on their attachment points. Consider two patients – Patient A has an injury to the muscle numbered 5 on the figure while Patient B has an injury to the muscle numbered 8.  In 2-3 sentences, identify the injured muscles and explain the symptoms Patient A might feel compared to Patient B. Hint: consider what actions would be more painful/difficult when these specific muscles are injured. 

Refer to Figure 3.  This figure features the muscles useful for breathing.  NAME the main muscle needed for restful breathing: [a] Which of the numbers on this figure labels this muscle?: [b]   Many of the other muscles in this image are considered accessory muscles, used for more forceful breaths.  NAME muscle #11: [c] Would this muscle help with inhalation or exhalation? [d]

Refer to Figure 6.  Which of the bones of the skull forms most of the ‘roof’ of the mouth? Include the bone NAME and NUMBER from the figure for full credit.  NAME: [a] NUMBER: [b]

Refer to Figure 7.  Several important landmarks are numbered on this figure.  NAME the landmark that forms a synovial joint with the spine: [a] What is the number for this landmark on the figure? [b]

Refer to Figure 3.  This figure features the muscles useful for breathing.  NAME the main muscle needed for restful breathing: [a] Which of the numbers on this figure labels this muscle?: [b]   Many of the other muscles in this image are considered accessory muscles, used for more forceful breaths.  NAME muscle #7: [c] Would this muscle help with inhalation or exhalation? [d]

Refer to Figure 8.  Which of the bones of the skull forms the posterior medial wall of the orbit? Include the bone NAME and NUMBER from the figure for full credit.  NAME: [a] NUMBER: [b]

Refer to Figure 2.  This figure includes an assortment of ribs. Consider the rib labeled C to answer the following questions. Which of the labeled locations on the sternum would be the most likely place for this rib to attach? Choose the best number (1 through 6) from the figure.  [b] What would be the STRUCTURAL CLASSICATION (two terms!) for the joint this rib forms there? [c]   BONUS: Is this a LEFT or RIGHT rib? [d]

Refer to Figure 1.  The vertebrae are joined to each other by two different intervertebral joints. Consider the numbered landmarks on this figure and answer the following questions. What is the STRUCTURAL CLASSIFICATION (two terms!) for the intervertebral joint that could be formed at LANDMARK #6? [a] What is the FUNCTIONAL CLASSIFICATION for the intervertebral joint formed at LANDMARK #6? [b] What parts of the vertebrae are brought together to form this joint at LANDMARK #6? [c] 

Refer to Figure 6.  For each of the following functions identify ONE MUSCLE from the figure that can perform that function.  1. Name a muscle that can EXTEND the neck: [a], label from figure: [b] 2. Name a muscle that can RETRACT the scapula: [c], label from figure: [d] 3. Name a muscle that can ROTATE the lumbar spine: [e], label from figure: [f]

Refer to Figure 6.  Which of the bones of the skull forms the ‘cheek’ bone? Include the bone NAME and NUMBER from the figure for full credit.  NAME: [a] NUMBER: [b]
