Q1: A medical student needs to count the total number of vertebrae in different spinal regions. Following the 'Breakfast-Lunch-Dinner' mnemonic, the cervical region has {{1}} vertebrae, thoracic has {{2}}, and lumbar has {{3}}.
Q2: Match each bone shape classification with its primary functional advantage:
Long bones :: Act as levers for movement
Short bones :: Provide stability with limited motion
Flat bones :: Protect organs and provide large muscle attachment areas
Irregular bones :: Perform specialized functions with complex shapes
Sesamoid bones :: Increase mechanical advantage of tendons
Q3: A biology student correctly identifies that signals travel from receptors in the skin TO the central nervous system for processing. What is the technical term for neurons that carry signals in this direction?
Q4: What is the name for the specialized cell junction between cardiac muscle cells that allows electrical signals to spread rapidly?
Q5: Match each bone with its location in the body:
