Select the correct option. [2019]
There are seven pairs of vertebrosternal, three pairs of vertebrochondral and two pairs of vertebral ribs.
8th, 9th and 10th pairs of ribs articulate directly with the sternum.
11th and 12th pairs of ribs are connected to the sternum with the help of hyaline cartilage.
Each rib is a flat thin bone and all the ribs are connected dorsally to the thoracic vertebrae and ventrally to the sternum.
(1)
Ribs 1-7 are classified as true ribs (vertebrosternal ribs), ribs 8-10 are false ribs (vertebrochondral ribs) and ribs 11 and 12 are floating ribs (vertebral ribs).
Out of ‘X’ pairs of ribs in humans only ‘Y’ pairs are true ribs. Select the option that correctly represents values of X and Y and provides their explanation. [2017]
X = 12, Y = 5 True ribs are attached dorsally to vertebral column and sternum on the two ends
X = 24, Y = 2 The true ribs are dorsally attached to vertebral column but are free on ventral side
X = 24, Y = 12 True ribs are dorsally attached to vertebral column but are free on ventral side
X = 12, Y = 7 True ribs are attached dorsally to vertebral column and ventrally to the sternum
Which of the following is not a function of the skeletal system? [2015]
Production of body heat
Locomotion
Production of erythrocytes
Storage of minerals
Glenoid cavity articulates [2015]
clavicle with scapula
humerus with scapula
clavicle with acromion
scapula with acromion
(2)
Upper rounded end of the humerus (bone of arm) is called head that articulates into the glenoid cavity of the pectoral girdle (shoulder girdle) of scapula or shoulder blade bone.
