Question 12 • Sports Medicine 1a

Huda successfully escaped a fire in her apartment building by jumping out her window. Unfortunately, she fractured parts of her temporal bone and her sphenoid bone during the fall. To fix the injuries, where should the surgeon focus MOST of their energy?

Answer
A
the thoracic cavity
B
the spinal column
C
the cranium
D
the arms and legs

Explanation

The temporal and sphenoid bones are both bones of the skull, which surrounds and protects the brain. The surgeon should therefore focus on the cranium. The thoracic cavity, spinal column, and arms and legs do not contain these bones.
