  Protect organs and maintain posture
• What is the function of the occipital bone in the skull?

  Contains the foramen magnum

  Bones ↔️ Provide structure

  Joints ↔️ Allow movement

  Ligaments ↔️ Connect bones

  Tendons ↔️ Connect muscles to bones
• Where are the cervical vertebrae located?

  Neck
• The sacrum is formed by the fusion of 5 vertebrae.
• Match the component of the musculoskeletal system with its function:

  Bones ↔️ Provide structure and protection

  Joints ↔️ Allow movement

  Ligaments ↔️ Connect bones

  Tendons ↔️ Connect muscles to bones
• Which bone in the skull contains the foramen magnum?

  Occipital
• What are the primary functions of the vertebral column bones together?

  Protect spinal cord, allow movement
• The sternum forms the central part of the rib cage and provides attachment points for muscles
• Order the major bones of the rib cage by their location from top to bottom:

  1️⃣ Sternum

  2️⃣ Ribs

  3️⃣ Costal Cartilage
• What connects bones within the musculoskeletal system?

  Ligaments
• The frontal bone forms the forehead and part of the eye sockets.


  True
• The maxilla forms the upper jaw.


  True
• What is the role of the musculoskeletal system in maintaining posture?

  Maintains posture
• The thoracic vertebrae provide attachment points for the ribs
• The vertebral column protects the spinal cord and allows for movement.


  True
• Costal cartilage connects the ribs to the sternum
• The musculoskeletal system protects vital organs and maintains posture.
• The ethmoid bone forms part of the nasal cavity and eye sockets.
• The rib cage facilitates respiratory movements.


  True
• Match the bone with its function in the rib cage:

  Ribs ↔️ Protect vital organs

  Sternum ↔️ Connects ribs, muscle attachment

  Costal Cartilage ↔️ Allows rib cage flexibility
• What is the longest bone in the upper limbs?

  Humerus
• Match the bone with its function in the upper limbs:

  Humerus ↔️ Connects shoulder and forearm

  Radius ↔️ Wrist rotation and elbow flexion

  Carpals ↔️ Form the wrist

  Phalanges ↔️ Form the fingers and thumb
• The tibia is the larger of the two lower leg bones.


  True
• Bones provide attachment points for muscles, tendons, and ligaments
• What is the function of the carpals in the wrist?

  Form the wrist
• The patella, also known as the kneecap, protects the knee
• Match the bone with its function in the lower limbs:

  Femur ↔️ Connects hip to knee

  Patella ↔️ Protects the knee joint

  Tibia ↔️ Bears most body weight

  Phalanges ↔️ Form the toes
• Bones protect vital organs such as the brain and heart.


  True
• Bone marrow produces red and white blood cells.

  True
• The musculoskeletal system consists of bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles
• Tendons connect muscles to bones
• The temporal bone contains the ears
• The musculoskeletal system works together to provide structure, support, and movement
• Arrange the bones of the vertebral column from top to bottom:

  1️⃣ Cervical Vertebrae

  2️⃣ Thoracic Vertebrae

  3️⃣ Lumbar Vertebrae

  4️⃣ Sacrum

  5️⃣ Coccyx
• The ribs protect vital organs such as the heart and lungs.

  True
• What vital organs do the ribs protect in the thoracic cavity?

  Heart and lungs
• The rib cage facilitates respiratory movements.

  True
• The parietal bone forms the top and sides of the skull.
