Question

assignment; chapter 3: the true test questions ro6lg04h.ch03.24 22. 23. 24. where are epaxial muscles located? a. above the pelvic axis b. between the ribs c. beneath the spine of the scapula d. located on the chest 25.

Explanation:

To determine the location of epaxial muscles, we analyze each option:

• Option a: Epaxial muscles are associated with the axial skeleton and are above the pelvic axis (related to the vertebral column and surrounding areas).
• Option b: Muscles between the ribs are intercostal muscles, not epaxial.
• Option c: Beneath the spine of the scapula is not the primary location of epaxial muscles.
• Option d: Muscles on the chest (like pectoral muscles) are not epaxial.

Epaxial muscles are located dorsal to the vertebral column, and "above the pelvic axis" aligns with their axial - skeletal - related location.

Answer:

a. above the pelvic axis
