With over 206 bones, the human body is truly amazing. The skelton and skull are the foundation of all movement and function. And what’s even more remarkable is when broken, the bones can heal themselves (if the injured area is kept stable) in six to 12 weeks to a significant degree. Although the sum of the parts is impressive, so are the parts themselves. For instance, the femur is the strongest bone in the body, as well as the only bone found in the thigh. There's also a bone called the lacrimal that is so delicate and small it houses the lacrimal sac used for storing tears. Get ready to be fascinated by the bones in these X-ray by taking the quiz now.
One doesn’t need to be an orthopedic surgeon or a biologist to get all the questions correct. You may know a little right now but end up learning a lot! For instance, many people don’t know there are three bones found in the middle ear. Or the density of your bones reaches a maximum level around age 30. If all else fails, you can have fun singing “Dem Bones†song while completing the quiz. We’ll get you started. “The ankle bone’s connected to the leg bone and the leg bone’s connected the knee bone …â€

Which bone is this?
Oculi
Trapezius
Fibula
Connected to the tibia, the fibula, or calf bone, is the smaller of two bones located in the leg. It is considered the most slender long bone of the body.
The tarsal bone forms part of a cluster of seven bones found in the foot called the tarsus. In humans, the tarsal, along with the other bones of the tarsus, make up the ankle.
Serving the same purpose as the metatarsal bones of the feet, the metacarpals form the intermediate part of the hand between the fingers and the wrist.
The thoracic vertebrae are a cluster of 12 vertebrae found between the cervical and lumbar vertebrae. They increase in size, moving downward away from the skull.
Lying between the skull and thoracic vertebrae is a group of vertebrae in the neck referred to as cervical vertebrae. They are often differentiated by the presence of holes called foramen.
More commonly called the shoulder blade, the scapula is two identical bones found on the left and right sides of the body, connecting the humerus to the clavicle.
Considered a pair of facial bones, the inferior nasal concha are found along the wall of the nasal cavity and are also called inferior nasal turbinates.
The vertebrae are several irregular bones which make up the spine. They are divided into five groups: the cervical vertebrae, thoracic vertebrae, lumbar vertebrae, sacral vertebrae and the coccyx.
The cranium is a large bone, which along with the mandible, makes up the skull. Its main functions are to support facial structures and to protect the brain.
Made up of the ilium, ischium and pubis, the hip bones, or pelvic bones they are also called, are two large, flat bones attached to the femur and several body muscles.
Connecting the hip to the feet, legs are made up of the strongest bone in the human body, the femur in the thigh region and the tibia and fibula in the lower leg.
