MCQ practice · SSC Biology Board questions · Chapter 9: Firmness and Locomotion
While playing football Saiful injured his ankle. Which of his bones was damaged?
Think it through first, then pick an option.
- a Carpals
- b Metacarpals
- c Tarsals
- d Metatarsals
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: c Tarsals
In the figure the tarsals are marked at the lower end of the tibia, the ankle region.
Why the other options are wrong
- a Carpals: Carpals are in the hand; the bone marked at the ankle is the tarsal.
- b Metacarpals: Metacarpals are hand bones, not at the ankle.
- d Metatarsals: The metatarsals lie below the tarsals in the foot, not at the ankle.
