141. Long bones function in-

Support
Support, erythrocyte and leucocyte synthesis
Support and erythrocyte synthesis
Erythrocyte formation

Long bones serve a dual function: they provide support for the body's structure and facilitate movement, and their bone marrow is the primary site for the production of erythrocytes (red blood cells) and leucocytes (white blood cells), a process known as hematopoiesis [information not from source].

142. Trochanters occur in-

Humerus
Femur
Radio-ulna
Tibia-fibula

Trochanters (specifically the greater and lesser trochanters) are large, prominent bony projections found exclusively on the proximal end of the femur (thigh bone), serving as critical attachment points for various muscles [information not from source].

143. Acromion process is part of-

Vertebral column
Pelvic girdle
Femur
Pectoral girdle

The acromion process is a prominent projection of the scapula, and the scapula itself is a major bone of the pectoral girdle (shoulder girdle).

144. Part of the body having a single pair of bones is-

Pelvic girdle
External ear
Wrist
Lower jaw

The pelvic girdle is identified in the sources as the part of the body having a single pair of bones.

145. Comparative study of skulls is-

Craniology
Conchology
Malacology
Osteology

Craniology is the term used for the comparative study of skulls.

146. Longest bone of frog is-

Humerus
Tibia-fibula
Femur
Radio-ulna

The tibia-fibula is indicated as the longest bone in a frog.

147. Haversian system is diagnostic feature of-

Avian bones
Reptilian bones
Mammalian bones
Bone of all animal

The Haversian system is a diagnostic feature of mammalian bones. This is reiterated by the fact that Haversian canals are found in the bones of mammals.

148. Feeling of fatigue after running fast for some time is due to-

Loss of energy
Accumulation of lactic acid in muscle
Formation of succinic acid
Formation of biuret crystals

The sensation of fatigue after rapid running is attributed to the accumulation of lactic acid in muscle.

149. In mammals the lower jaw is made of-

Maxilla
Dentary
Mandible
Ethmoid

In mammals, the lower jaw is made of the mandible.

150. Sesamoid bone is derived from-

Cartilage
Areolar tissue
Tendon
Ligament

A sesamoid bone is derived from a tendon. This concept is further supported by the statement that bones formed by the ossification of a tendon are called sesamoid bones.

151. Which one has the maximum glycogen-
