Question 1

Moving a body part away from the medial plane of the body is called:&#10;A) adduction.&#10;B) abduction.&#10;C) flexion.&#10;D) extension.

Accepted Answer

Abduction is the movement of a body part away from the midline of the body. Adduction is the movement of a body part towards the midline of the body. Flexion is the movement of a joint that decreases the angle between two bones. Extension is the movement of a joint that increases the angle between two bones.

Question 2

The distal end of the radius articulating with the carpal bones is an example of a _____ joint.&#10;A) saddle&#10;B) gliding&#10;C) condyloid (ellipsoidal)&#10;D) pivot

Accepted Answer

A condyloid joint, also known as an ellipsoidal joint, is a synovial joint in which an ovoid articular surface of one bone fits into a complementary depression in another bone, allowing movement in two planes (biaxial). The distal end of the radius articulating with the carpal bones fits this description, as it allows for movement in both flexion/extension and abduction/adduction. Option A is incorrect because a saddle joint allows for movement in two planes as well, but with a greater range of motion than a condyloid joint. Option B is incorrect because a gliding joint only allows for sliding or twisting movements, and Option D is incorrect because a pivot joint allows for rotational movements around a single axis.

Question 3

The knee joint is an example of a _____ joint.&#10;A) hinge&#10;B) ball and socket&#10;C) saddle&#10;D) gliding

Accepted Answer

The knee joint allows movement in one plane of motion, like a door hinge, making it an example of a hinge joint.

Question 4

What are the most movable joints in the body?&#10;A) Symphyses&#10;B) Synovial&#10;C) Syndesmoses&#10;D) Synchondroses

Accepted Answer

Synovial joints are the most movable joints in the body, as they have a wide range of motion and are found in the limbs and other movable structures. Symphyses, syndesmoses, and synchondroses are all types of joints, but these are either slightly movable or immovable.

Question 5

An example of a hinge joint is the:&#10;A) head of the radius articulating with the ulna.&#10;B) interphalangeal joints.&#10;C) first metacarpal articulating with the trapezium.&#10;D) head of the humerus articulating with the scapula.

Accepted Answer

The interphalangeal joints between the bones of the fingers and toes are examples of hinge joints. Hinge joints allow for movement in only one plane, like the opening and closing of a door, and are typically found in the fingers, toes, elbows, and knees. The other options listed are not hinge joints.

Question 6

What are the unique joints that occur between the root of a tooth and the alveolar process of the mandible or maxilla?&#10;A) Symphyses&#10;B) Syndesmoses&#10;C) Gomphoses&#10;D) Synchondroses

Accepted Answer

The unique joints that occur between the root of a tooth and the alveolar process of the mandible or maxilla are known as gomphoses. These joints are also called "peg-and-socket" joints as they are formed by the insertion of the tooth into the socket of the alveolar process. Gomphoses are immovable joints and provide a stable base for the tooth in the socket.

Question 7

An example of a pivot joint is the:&#10;A) head of the radius articulating with the ulna.&#10;B) first metacarpal articulating with the trapezium.&#10;C) humerus articulating with the scapula.&#10;D) interphalangeal joints.

Accepted Answer

The head of the radius articulating with the ulna is a classic example of a pivot joint, as it allows for rotational movement around a single axis. The other choices are all hinge joints or saddle joints.

Question 8

In terms of structure,which type of articulation has a joint capsule?&#10;A) Fibrous&#10;B) Cartilaginous&#10;C) Synovial&#10;D) Amphiarthrotic

Accepted Answer

Synovial joints are characterized by the presence of a joint capsule, which is a fibrous connective tissue sleeve that encloses the articulating ends of bones. Inside the capsule is a synovial membrane that produces synovial fluid, which lubricates and nourishes the joint surfaces. Synovial joints are the most common type of joint in the body and allow for the greatest range of motion, making them well-suited for mobility and dexterity.

Question 9

Which of the following is an example of a biaxial joint?&#10;A) Pivot&#10;B) Hinge&#10;C) Ball and socket&#10;D) Condyloid

Accepted Answer

A condyloid joint is a type of synovial joint that allows for movement in two planes, or axes, known as a biaxial joint. The joint is formed by the articulation of an oval-shaped condyle of one bone with an elliptical cavity of another bone. Examples of condyloid joints include the knuckles and the temporomandibular joint in the jaw. Pivot joints allow for rotation around a single axis, hinge joints allow for movement in one plane, and ball and socket joints allow for a wide range of movement in multiple axes.

Question 10

Which joint allows for the widest range of movement?&#10;A) Gliding&#10;B) Saddle&#10;C) Ball and socket&#10;D) Hinge

Accepted Answer

The ball and socket joint allows for the widest range of movement as it allows for movement in all directions including rotation, flexion, extension, adduction and abduction. Examples of ball and socket joints are the shoulder joint and the hip joint.
