61. Cervical vertebrae can be identified from other vertebrae on the basis of

Odontoid processes
Transverse processes
Amphiplatyan centrum
Vertebra-arterial canals

Cervical vertebrae are uniquely identified by the presence of foramina transversaria (also known as vertebra-arterial canals) in their transverse processes, which provide passageways for the vertebral arteries (except in C7).

62. The heaviest and largest vertebrae are

Thoracic
Lumbar
Cervical
Sacral

The lumbar vertebrae, located in the lower back, are typically the largest and heaviest vertebrae because they bear the greatest amount of body weight and muscular stress [information not from source, but common anatomical knowledge].

63. Typical thoracic vertebrae are

12
1, 9, 10, 11, 12
1, 2, 7
2 to 8

While there are 12 thoracic vertebrae in total, the 'typical' thoracic vertebrae, sharing common morphological features, are generally considered to be those from T2 to T8 or T9 [information not from source]. The provided answer indicates 2 to 8.

64. In birds, the vertebrae in the neck region are

Amphiplatyan
Heterocoelous
Opisthocoelous
Amphicoelous

The cervical vertebrae in birds are uniquely heterocoelous, meaning their articular surfaces are saddle-shaped (convex in one direction and concave in another). This specialized shape allows for the high degree of flexibility and rotation observed in a bird's neck [information not from source].

65. Centrum of a vertebra which is concave on both the sides is called as

Amphicoelous
Opisthocoelous
Acoelous
Procoelaus

A vertebral centrum that is concave on both its anterior and posterior surfaces is termed amphicoelous [information not from source].

66. Type of vertebrae in case of human is

Amphiplatyan
Procoelus
Amphicoelus
Heterocoelus

Human vertebrae are primarily classified as amphiplatyan, characterized by their relatively flat articular surfaces on the vertebral bodies that articulate with the intervertebral discs [information not from source].

67. How many vertebra-chondral ribs are present in the human?

7 pairs
2 pairs
3 pairs
12 pairs

Humans have three pairs of vertebrochondral ribs (also known as false ribs), which are the 8th, 9th, and 10th pairs. These ribs do not articulate directly with the sternum but instead join the cartilage of the 7th rib.

68. The number of floating ribs are

2 pairs
12 pairs
7 pairs
3 pairs

There are two pairs of floating ribs in humans, specifically the 11th and 12th pairs. They are called floating ribs because they only attach dorsally to the thoracic vertebrae and have no anterior attachment to the sternum.

69. Glenoid cavity is associated with

Pelvic girdle
Coracoid
Clavicle
Scapula

The glenoid cavity is a shallow, socket-like depression found on the lateral aspect of the scapula (shoulder blade). It is the articulation point for the head of the humerus, forming the shoulder joint.

70. Dehoid ridge is found in which one of the following bones?

Radius
Tibia
Femur
Humerus

The deltoid ridge (or deltoid tuberosity) is a distinct roughened area located on the lateral surface of the shaft of the humerus (upper arm bone), serving as the insertion point for the deltoid muscle [implied by Q.12 in Section B (Ans. 2) and Q.48 in Section A (Ans. 4) which connect 'Deltoid Ridge' to Humerus; additional information not from source].

71. Olecranon fossa is present with

Radius
Ulna
Humerus
Femur

The olecranon fossa is a large depression on the posterior surface of the distal end of the humerus. It accommodates the olecranon process of the ulna when the elbow joint is fully extended [information not from source, but related to elbow joint articulation with ulna].

72. The sigmoid notch is present in

Femur
Tibio-fibula
Humerus
Radius-ulna

The sigmoid notch (specifically the trochlear notch) is a prominent C-shaped articulation found on the proximal end of the ulna (one of the forearm bones), designed to articulate with the trochlea of the humerus to form the elbow joint [implied by Q.25 in Section B (Ans. 1) which describes 'Trochlea of which bone fit in sigmoid notch of ulna'; additional information not from source].

73. Mark the odd one out

Scaphoid
Lunate
Pisiform
Calcaneum

The Calcaneum is a tarsal bone, forming the heel of the foot. In contrast, the Scaphoid, Lunate, and Pisiform are all carpal bones, located in the wrist. Therefore, Calcaneum is the odd one out as it belongs to a different region of the appendicular skeleton.

74. Phalangeal formula for the hand is

23333
33333
33322
32333

The phalangeal formula for the human hand is 23333, which means the thumb has two phalanges, and each of the other four fingers has three phalanges.

75. When we move the palm in upward direction by the action of supinator muscle the position of ulna is

Towards thumb side
Towards little finger
Towards thumb side in right hand only
Towards little finger in left hand only

During supination (moving the palm upward), the radius rotates around the ulna. The ulna remains relatively stable on the medial side of the forearm, maintaining its position towards the little finger side [information not from source].

76. One of the following is called hip bone

Innominate
Scapula
Manubrium
Coracoid

The large, irregular bone that forms each half of the pelvic girdle is commonly known as the innominate bone or coxal bone. It is formed by the fusion of the ilium, ischium, and pubis.

77. Obturator foramen is enclosed between

Ilium, ischium and pubis
Ischium and pubis
Ilium and ischium
Ilium and pubis

The large opening in the hip bone called the obturator foramen is primarily formed by the articulation and fusion of parts of the ischium and pubis bones.

78. Which of the following are involved in the formation of acetabulum? a. Ilium b. Ischium c. Pubis

a & b only
b & c only
a & c only
a, b & c

The acetabulum, the deep, cup-shaped socket that articulates with the head of the femur, is formed by the union of all three bones of the innominate bone: the ilium, ischium, and pubis.

79. Saddle joint is present between

Radius and ulna
Carpals
Carpal and metacarpal of thumb
Ulna and humerus

A saddle joint allows for movement in two planes, resembling a rider in a saddle. A classic example is the joint between the metacarpal bone of the thumb and the trapezium carpal bone.

80. Hinge joint is present between

Humerus and Radio-ulna
Femur and Pelvic girdle
Femur and Acetabulum
Humerus and Pectoral girdle

A hinge joint allows movement primarily in a single plane, similar to a door hinge. The elbow joint, formed by the articulation of the humerus with the radius and ulna, is a prime example of a hinge joint.
