About this resource
This quiz focuses on human skeletal anatomy, specifically the detailed structure and articulation of the os coxae (hip bone) and femur (thigh bone). Designed for grades 11-12, this assessment requires students to demonstrate mastery of anatomical terminology and spatial relationships within the appendicular skeleton. Students must possess strong visual identification skills to distinguish between the three bones that fuse to form the os coxae—the ilium, ischium, and pubis—as well as identify numerous anatomical landmarks on the femur including the head, neck, greater and lesser trochanters, linea aspera, and both medial and lateral condyles and epicondyles. The quiz also tests functional anatomy knowledge, requiring students to understand how these bones articulate with adjacent structures to form major joints like the hip and knee, as well as connections between the appendicular and axial skeletons. Created by Hubert Christopher, a Biology teacher in the US who teaches grades 11 and 12. This comprehensive assessment serves multiple instructional purposes throughout the anatomy unit on the skeletal system. Teachers can deploy this quiz as a formative assessment tool to gauge student understanding before major examinations, or as targeted practice following laboratory sessions where students examine actual bone specimens or anatomical models. The repetitive nature of the identification questions makes this quiz particularly effective for spaced practice and retention of anatomical terminology. It works well as homework reinforcement after classroom instruction or as a warm-up activity to activate prior knowledge before moving into more complex topics like muscle attachments or joint mechanics. This assessment aligns with NGSS HS-LS1-2 standards for developing models of the human body systems and supports Common Core literacy standards in technical vocabulary acquisition within the life sciences.
