    observation

    This question was attempted by many candidates and candidates performed poorly.  In part (a) candidates could not identify the diagram as lower limb the candidates were confused the lower limb with upper limb candidates named the labelled part III as humerus instead of femur.  While some named radius, biceps, triceps instead of tibia, quadriceps and gastronemius.  In part (b) candidates mentioned joint between II and III as shoulder joint instead of ball & socket/hip joint while III and VIII as elbow joint instead of hinge joint knee joint:  In part (c) candidates successful list injuries that could occur in the parts of the lower limb.

    The expected answers were as follows:

    4   (a)    Naming the parts labelled

                  I        -    vertebral column/lumbar vertebra
                 II        -    pelvic bone/girdle/pelvis

                IX      -       Biceps femoris/hamstrings
                X       -       Gluteus maximus.
