Support and Movement

The diagram below is an illustration of a structure in the skeletal system of humans. An individual was involved in a car accident and the illustrated structure was badly injured. Which of the following structures would most likely be affected?

Diagram for this question
  1. A.Lumbar, eye and teeth
  2. B.Ear, brain and hinge joint
  3. C.Eye, cerebellum and ear
  4. D.Clavicle, tongue and pelvis
Show the answer and explanation

Answer: C (Eye, cerebellum and ear)

Explanation

The skull encloses the brain (including the cerebellum) and houses the eyes and ears, so these would be affected. Lumbar vertebrae, clavicle and pelvis are not in the skull.
