Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. We have hundreds of bones in our bodies.

Answer: true

Our bones are the solid framework of our bodies. We have a total of two hundred and six bones.

2. We have more than two times the number of muscles than we have bones in our bodies.

Answer: true

We have various types of muscle tissues within our bodies. Our muscles allow our movements. We have over five hundred muscles!

3. What is the proper name for the kneecap?

Answer: patella

Your knee and elbow are examples of "hinge" joints. They only bend in one direction.

4. What is an opposable thumb?

Answer: a thumb that is multiple jointed, and able to move in a circle

Can you imagine life without fingers and toes? Our toes help us keep balanced and help us walk. Our thumbs allow us to easily pick up objects.

5. There is a surgical procedure to repair some heart valve disorders without opening your entire chest cavity. How is this done?

Answer: doctors use robots to enter the ribcage area to make repairs

Unless our heart valves work properly the situation can become deadly. The valves need to work properly so that our blood is pumped around our bodies.

6. Could we survive without both our lungs?

Answer: no

We inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. We need at least one lung for the intake of oxygen to remain healthy.

7. What is the largest bodily organ?

Answer: our skin

Our skin covers our entire body and healthy skin is necessary to maintain our good health and body temperature. This was from nursing school!

8. We have hair everywhere on the outside of our bodies except where?

Answer: palms of our hands, soles of our feet and eyelids

We do have hair covering our bodies everywhere except for the palms of our hands and the soles of our feet and eyelids. Hair varies in appearance depending on where it grows.

9. What is the technical name for your lower jawbone?

Answer: mandible

This bone shapes your chin. The maxilla is the upper part of your jaw.

10. If we are unable to see what is written on the chalk board at school, we may need to see a special type of doctor. What are these doctors called?

Answer: optometrist or ophthalmologist

With 20/20 vision, we can see objects at twenty feet that we should be able to see clearly at that distance. A cardiologist is a heart specialist. An orthopedic doctor specializes in our skeletal system. You would only need to see a cosmetologist if your bangs cover your eyes and you need a haircut in order to see better!
