Example Question #102 : Bones
On which bone is the olecranon process?
Ulna
Radius
Tibia
Scaphoid
Humerus
Ulna
The correct answer is the ulna. The olecranon process is located on the ulna. The olecranon process is not on the radius which is the other bone in the forearm. The humerus is located in the upper portion of the arm. The scaphoid is in the wrist. The tibia is in the lower leg.
Example Question #103 : Bones
On which bone is the deltoid tuberosity?
Scapula
Radius
Clavicle
Humerus
Ulna
Humerus
The deltoid is a muscle on the lateral portion of the upper arm. The humerus is the bone on the upper arm and the deltoid attaches to the humerus. The radius and ulna is located on the lower portion of the arm. The clavicle is in the upper chest, also known as the collarbone. The scapula is the shoulder blade and the deltoid does not attach to it.
Example Question #104 : Bones

Example Question #33 : Identifying Bones Of The Upper Extremities
Which of the following is not a carpal bone?
Trapezoid
Lunate
Sphenoid
Hamate
Pisiform
Sphenoid
The sphenoid is located in the skull. All others are carpal bones.
Example Question #111 : Bones
Which of these bones is classified as a long bone?
Ribs
Carpals
Vertebrae
Ulna
Ulna
Bones are classified according to shape. Long bones include the humerus, radius, ulna, tibia, femur, fibula, phalanges, and metacarpals. The carpal and tarsal bones are short bones, which are cuboid-shaped. The ribs are flat bones. Lastly, the vertebrae are irregular bones, meaning they are of mixed shapes.
Example Question #35 : Identifying Bones Of The Upper Extremities
Which bone is considered the upper arm bone?
Radius
Ulna
Scapula
Humerus
Clavicle
Humerus
The humerus makes up the upper arm. The clavicle and scapula create the shoulder girdle in which the humerus joins with. Finally the radius and Ulna make up the forearm bones.
