Question
While they look dissimilar, the bones of the forearm and leg have some things in common. Which of the following statements is true about both the bones of the forearm and leg?Multiple ChoiceThe bones move freely relative to one another.All of the bones have styloid processes.Interosseus membranes connect the bones of the forearm and bones of the leg.All of the bones have large tuberosities for muscle attachments.
Solution
The correct statement about both the bones of the forearm and leg is: "Interosseus membranes connect the bones of the forearm and bones of the leg."
Here's why:
-
The bones do not move freely relative to one another. They are connected by joints and ligaments that allow for controlled movement.
-
Not all of the bones have styloid processes. Styloid processes are found on certain bones in the body, including the radius and ulna in the forearm and the tibia and fibula in the leg, but not all bones in these areas have them.
-
Interosseus membranes do connect the bones of the forearm and the bones of the leg. In the forearm, the interosseus membrane connects the radius and ulna. In the leg, it connects the tibia and fibula.
-
Not all of the bones have large tuberosities for muscle attachments. Tuberosities are large, rounded projections on a bone, typically for attachment with a muscle or ligament. While some bones in the forearm and leg have these, not all do.
