observation

 

This question was popular among the candidates and they performed averagely in it.  In part (a) candidates could not label correctly due to wrong spellings.  In part (c) candidates failed to state correctly one function of the parts labelled III and V  i.e ‘tendon’ and ‘biceps’ respectively.

The expected answers were as follows:  
(a)(i)    Naming of parts
             I          -           Scapula;                                            VI          -           Triceps;
            II         -           Head of humerus;                             VII          -           Radius;
             III       -           Tendon;                                           VIII          -           Carpal;
             IV       -           Humerus;                                            IX         -            Phalanges;
            V         -           Biceps;                                                 X         -            Ulna.                                                                                                             
   (c)     Function of the parts labeled III and V
            Function of III
