Consider statements about human anatomy: 1. The humerus is the bone of the upper arm. 2. The radius and ulna are bones of the lower arm. 3. The patella is a bone in the skull. Which are correct?
A. 1 and 2 only
B. 1, 2 and 3
C. 1 and 3 only
D. 2 and 3 only
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
The humerus is the single, long bone of the upper arm, connecting the shoulder to the elbow. The radius and ulna are the two parallel bones of the forearm (lower arm), connecting the elbow to the wrist. The patella, commonly known as the kneecap, is a small, flat, triangular bone located at the front of the knee joint, not in the skull. Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.
