Introduction:
Human Skeleton is divided in two parts:
- The axial Skeleton
- The appendicular skeleton
The appendicular skeleton is a skeleton part in vertebrates where the bones are supporting the appendages. They include the elements within the limbs, supporting shoulder girdle, pectoral and pelvic girdle.
Answer to Problem 23A
Correct answer:
The correct answer is option (a) shoulder girdle.
Explanation of Solution
Explanation/justification for the correct answer:
Option (a) shoulder girdle is a part of the appendicular skeleton that connects the arm from all sides. Example: clavicle and scapula. These shoulder girdle also known as pectoral girdles provide structural support to the shoulder. They also help in motion by connecting muscles that are important for the arm and shoulder movement.
Explanation for incorrect answer:
Option (b) skull consists of the cranium that protects the brain and the facial bones that form the lower part of the skull. Cranium comprises of eight bones that are connected with sutures. They are not a part of the appendicular skeleton.
Option (c) rib cage contains 12 pairs of ribs and a sternum. They protect the lungs and heart. One end of the rib cage is flattened whereas the other end is rounded and they are also not a part of the appendicular skeleton.
Option (d) vertebral column is the central part of the skeleton present in the vertebrates. They give support to the body posture and protect the spinal cord. They are not a part of the appendicular skeleton.
The part of the appendicular skeleton is the shoulder girdle as the bones lying along the central axis are the appendicular skeleton.

Does the neural crest differentiate into different cell types based on their axial position along the anterior and posterior axis?arrow_forwardUsing quail and chicken embryos, what kind of experiment would you conduct to test if rib forming somites have their axial identity specified before segmentation? How do we know this phenotype is due to axial identity being specified before segmentation and not due to our experimental method?arrow_forward

The lipid is composed of one glycerol molecule connected to two fatty acid tails. One fatty acid is 12 carbons long and the other fatty acid is 18 carbons long in the figure below. Use the information below to determine how much ATP will be produced from the glycerol part of the lipid. Then, in part B, determine how much ATP is produced from the 2 fatty acids of the lipid. Finally put the NADH and ATP yields together from the glycerol and fatty acids (part A and B) to determine your total number of ATP produced per lipid.
