Please only post your questions once. Repeating posts will not get a quicker response. In addition, it wastes our time looking over reposts that have already been answered in another post. Thank you.
Again, we do not do your homework for you. Although it might take more effort to do the work on your own, you will profit more from your effort. We will be happy to evaluate your work though.
To answer the questions:
1. The term for the end of a bone that is closest to the midline of the body is the "Proximal epiphysis". You can find this information by referring to a textbook or online resource on anatomy.
2. The area where the nerves pass through the scapula is called the "Scapular notch". This information can also be found in an anatomy textbook or online resource.
3. The two muscles that attach to the xiphoid process are the "Rectus abdominis" and the "Transversus abdominis". To find this information, you can refer to an anatomy textbook or online resource that provides details on muscle attachments.
4. Muscles supply "Strength", "Protection", and "Blood" to the bones. This question requires knowledge of basic anatomy and the functions of muscles. You can find this information in an anatomy textbook or online resource.
5. The ligament that provides support against a varus or inversion sprain of the ankle is called the "Lateral ligament". Again, this information can be found in an anatomy textbook or online resource.
6. The main portion or shaft of a bone is called the "Diaphysis". This terminology is commonly used in anatomy and can be found in an anatomy textbook or online resource.
7. Another term for the superior surface of the scapula where the biceps attach is the "Coracoid process". This information can be found in an anatomy textbook or online resource.
8. The structure located between the small and large intestine is the "Ileocecal valve". This question requires knowledge of the digestive system. You can find this information in a biology textbook or online resource.
9. The muscle involved in the adduction of the leg is the "All of the above" (Rectus femoris, Pectineus, and Tensor fascia latae). This question requires knowledge of muscle function. You can find this information in an anatomy textbook or online resource.
10. The longest muscle in the body is the "Sartorius" muscle. This question requires knowledge of muscle anatomy. You can find this information in an anatomy textbook or online resource.
11. The muscle that attaches onto the cartilage of ribs five through seven is the "Rectus abdominis". This information can be found in an anatomy textbook or online resource.
12. In the upper-right quadrant, the organs present are the "Liver and gallbladder". This question requires knowledge of the location of organs in the abdomen. You can find this information in a biology textbook or online resource.
13. The muscle's tendonous attachments that keep the patella in its place is the "Quadriceps femoris". This information can be found in an anatomy textbook or online resource.
14. The muscle that is an antagonist to both actions of the tibialis anterior is the "Peroneus longus". This information can be found in an anatomy textbook or online resource.
15. The superior bones of the skull are the "Parietal bones". This information can be found in an anatomy textbook or online resource.
