| List I | List II | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Label | Body part | Label | Bone involved |
| A | Shoulder | I | Tarsals |
| B | Thigh | II | Carpals |
| C | Wrist | III | Humerus |
| D | Ankle | IV | Femur |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
- (A) – (I), (B) – (II), (C) – (III), (D) – (IV)
- (A) – (I), (B) – (III), (C) – (II), (D) – (IV)
- (A) – (III), (B) – (IV), (C) – (I), (D) – (II)
- (A) – (III), (B) – (IV), (C) – (II), (D) – (I)
Human karyotype analysis extends to anatomical bone identification through standard pairings of body regions and their primary bones.
Correct Answer
(A) – (III), (B) – (IV), (C) – (II), (D) – (I)
Label Body Part Correct Bone Anatomical Role A Shoulder III. Humerus Upper arm bone forming shoulder joint B Thigh IV. Femur Longest bone between hip and knee [prior anatomy] C Wrist II. Carpals 8 short bones enabling wrist flexibility D Ankle I. Tarsals 7 bones (talus, calcaneus etc.) forming ankle platform Each Correct Match Explained
A. Shoulder → III. Humerus
The humerus is the long bone of the upper arm, articulating with the scapula at the shoulder (glenohumeral) joint.
✅ Proximal humerus head forms shoulder structure.
B. Thigh → IV. Femur
Femur (thigh bone) extends from hip acetabulum to knee, bearing body weight.[prior anatomy]
✅ Primary thigh bone.
C. Wrist → II. Carpals
Carpals are 8 small bones (scaphoid, lunate etc.) forming the wrist’s flexible carpus between radius/ulna and metacarpals.
✅ Defines wrist joint.
D. Ankle → I. Tarsals
Tarsals (7 bones: talus superiorly connects tibia/fibula to foot; calcaneus forms heel) create ankle’s weight-bearing foundation.
✅ Ankle = tarsal bones.
All Options Analysis
(A)-(I), (B)-(II), (C)-(III), (D)-(IV)
Shoulder ≠ tarsals (foot); wrist ≠ humerus (arm); ankle ≠ femur (thigh).
❌ Wrong: Foot bones in upper body.
(A)-(I), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(IV)
Shoulder ≠ tarsals; thigh ≠ humerus (upper arm).
❌ Wrong: Mixes leg/foot with arm.
(A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(II), (D)-(I)
All anatomically precise: humerus-shoulder, femur-thigh, carpals-wrist, tarsals-ankle.
✅ Correct option.
(A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)
Wrist ≠ tarsals (foot); ankle ≠ carpals (hand).
❌ Wrong: Confuses hand/foot bones.
Exam Mnemonic: Shoulder-Humerus, Thigh-Femur, Wrist-Carpals, Ankle-Tarsals (SATFAT).
