Quick Quiz – Give the common name for each bone.
I should have known it was going to be one of
those days, when I had stepped out of bed and
stubbed my (1) PHLANGE on the night stand.
While hopping up and down on one (2)
METATARSAL and grasping the other, I slipped
and fell onto my right shoulder breaking my (3)
CLAVICLE.
As
I
crawled
on
my
(4) METACARPALS and (5) PATELLAS to my bed,
I felt my (6) CRANIUM begin to ache. I found
my phone and let my (7) PHLANGES do the
walking as I called my friend to come help me
out. My friend answered the phone with a loud
scream; my (8) MANDIBLE dropped, I asked
what had happened, and he replied that he had
been startled by the ringing phone, fell out of
bed landed on his (9) COCCYX. Following that
while racing to the phone he hit his (10) TIBIA
on a stool. I should have known it was going to
be one of those days.
