Question

Match the following

• A. Zygomatic bones → IV Cheek bones
• B. Lacrimal bones → II Smallest bones of the face
• C. Mandible → I Strongest of all the facial bones
• D. Sphenoid bone → III Keystone bone of the cranium

Hint:

Understanding the functions and positions of bones can help in matching them with their correct characteristics. The sphenoid bone is vital in connecting the various skull bones, while the mandible is the strongest facial bone.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Let's match the given bones with their respective characteristics:

• Zygomatic bones: These are also known as the cheekbones. So, the correct match is (A) → IV.
• Lacrimal bones: These are the smallest bones of the face, located in the corner of the eye socket. So, (B) → I.
• Mandible: This is the strongest of all the facial bones, forming the lower jaw. So, (C) → II.
• Sphenoid bone: This is known as the keystone bone of the cranium, as it joins other bones to form the base of the skull. So, (D) → III.

Thus, the correct matching is:

A - IV    B - I    C - II    D - III

Thus, the correct answer is Option (1).
