Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Our bones contain many foramina. What are foramina?

Answer: Perforations

Foramina (singular foramen) are tiny openings in the bone through which nerves pass. Flat bones like the jaw contain the most foramina.

2. Speaking of bones- what kind of joint is the elbow joint?

Answer: Hinge

Hinge joints allow up and down movement. The knee is also a hinge joint.

3. In what family of herbs do we find plants with square stems and aromatic leaves?

Answer: Mint

The square stems make mint-family plants easily identifiable. Most mints like to grow in damp places and can become invasive weeds.

4. The first of these were made of rock crystal, and were in use as early as 3000 BC.

Answer: Magnifying glasses

Rome, Greece, Assyria and countries in the Middle East all had rock crystal lenses. They may have been used more for starting fires than for magnifying!

5. This word for a recording or a book with blank pages is derived from a Latin word meaning "white."

Answer: Album

An "album" was originally a blank white tablet, ready for inscribing.

6. Rather appropriately, this word is derived from the Greek for "lattice."

Answer: Cancel

The Greek word for "lattice" is "cancer." A lattice has crossed pieces, and the first meaning of "cancel" was to cross something out.

7. Anglican, Presbyterian, Methodist and Quaker are all...

Answer: Denominations

A denomination is a group of church congregations that shares similar beliefs.

8. There are many kinds of fancy paper in the world. This one is a nearly-transparent, thin paper with a highly-glazed surface.

Answer: Glassine

Glassine paper is very resistant to stains, and is used to make envelopes for storing delicate items.

9. Ointment or salve designed to be applied to the skin is frequently known as __________________ ointment.

Answer: Topical

Such ointments usually have a base of fat or oil.

10. All right then, what's the common bond?

Answer: Stamp collecting

Stamps are perforated (Q. 1) and have different denominations (values) (Q. 7) A "mint" stamp (Q. 3) is unused and in pristine condition. Stamps that have been postmarked have a cancel. (Q. 6) Stamp collectors keep their prizes in glassine envelopes (Q. 8) or in albums (Q. 5) They sometimes use hinges (Q. 2) made of glued glassine paper to attach stamps to the album. Magnifying glasses (Q. 4) are used to examine the stamps.

A topical (Q. 9) collection contains stamps of all one topic, like dogs or soccer players.
