Verified step by step guidance

1

Begin by identifying the anatomical structures mentioned in the problem: surgical neck, deltoid tuberosity, styloid process, and radial tuberosity.

Understand the anatomical location of each structure: the surgical neck and deltoid tuberosity are parts of the humerus, while the radial tuberosity is part of the radius.

Clarify the term 'styloid process': it is a bony projection found in several locations, including the radius and ulna, but not typically associated with the humerus.

Review the anatomical relationships: the styloid process is not a feature of the humerus, making it the incorrect pairing in the context of the problem.

Conclude that the correct answer is the pairing of 'styloid process; humerus' as it does not accurately describe the anatomical location of the styloid process.

Multiple Choice

Of the two bones in the forearm, which bone is medial?

Multiple Choice

When a person falls, a common reaction is to try to catch themselves by sticking out their hands. This will sometimes lead to a fracture in one or both of the bones of the forearm. Because one forearm bone is larger where it articulates with the wrist, this bone tends to absorb more force from the impact and is broken more often, making it the most commonly broken bone in the body. Where would such a break likely occur?

Multiple Choice

Arrange the bones of the upper limb from proximal to distal. Some bones may not be included.
