Question

Acromion process is found in
A. Coxal bone
B. Scapula
C. Sternum
D. Clavicle

Answer 1

Hint: The Acromion process is a kind of bony process, which articulates with collar bone. The bones are joined by tissues called ligaments and cartilage. This process is a part of our shoulder blade.

Complete answer:

Pelvic girdle and Pectoral girdle bones help to join the lower and upper limbs respectively with the axial skeleton. Each girdle is made of two halves.
The pelvic girdle consists of two coxal bones. It is formed by the fusion of three bones that are ilium, ischium, and pubis. A cavity called acetabulum formed at the time of fusion of the above bone. In this cavity the thigh bone articulates.
The scapula is a triangular flat bone. It is situated in the dorsal part of the thorax between the second and seventh ribs. The triangular and flat body of the scapula on the dorsal side has a slightly elevated ridge called a spine. Ti has projected as a flat and expended process called the acromion. The clavicle or the collar bone is joining with this. The glenoid cavity is located below the acromion which articulates or joins with the head of the humerus and forms the shoulder joint.
The sternum is a flat bone located on the ventral midline of the thorax. Each rib bone is attached to the ventrally to the sternum and dorsally to the vertebral column.
The clavicle is known as collar bone. It is a long slender bone with two curvatures.

Hence the acromion process is found in the scapula, so the correct answer is option B.

Note: The scapular spine is attached to the acromion process and works with the coracoids process of the scapula to form the stable and solid shoulder joint. The ligament is called Coracoacromial ligament, which attaches the acromion process to the coracoid process.
