I think it depends on the writer, but I think that it is definitely a possibility for nat'l level stuff to be at states. Last year (I'm from NY) at states, they definitely had Nat'l level stuff, and it did get quite in depth. I would actually have to say that my state test last year was harder than the nat'l event last year. SO I would say for states- know it just in case.

thoracic vertebrae have very obvious wings- as the ribs need to articulate into the vertebrae. the sacrum is 5 FUSED vertebrae. im not sure about cervical and lumbar.

Cervical are the smallest vertebrae and they are also very flat because the head needs to pivot on them (atlas and axis). The Lumbar are the biggest. They have a very thick body

I'm not sure about the bones, but for the heart (if anyone needs it)
http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/ is a GREAT site for the diseases. It has most of the heart diseases, and is a REALLY useful resource.
