Rotation and circumduction are interchangeable terms.

Question 44

The depth of the acetabulum gives stability to the hip joint.

Question 45

The periodontal membrane is part of a fibrous joint.

Question 46

The shallowness of the glenoid cavity makes the shoulder a rather unstable joint.

Question 47

The only gomphoses joints in the body are found above the neck.

Question 48

Although sutures are classified as immovable joints,the flexibility of the ligaments holding the bone together do allow for some movement.

Question 49

Because of the instability of the glenoid cavity and humerus,one of the strongest ligaments in the body is found surrounding the shoulder.

Question 50

The elbow and the dens of the axis are both part of a uniaxial joint.

Question 51

The iliofemoral ligament,which helps stabilize the hip,is one of the strongest ligaments in the body.

Question 52

It is recommended that joint replacement surgery be done on younger people rather than older people because they are better able to tolerate the procedure.

Question 53

The gomphoses joint is the most complex joint in the body.

Question 54

If you are standing up and looking straight up toward the sky,your cervical spine will be hyperextended.

Question 55

Hyaline cartilage is associated only with synovial joints.

Question 56

Plantar flexion is a movement that applies only to the hands and feet.

Question 57

When a joint is in anatomical position,a goniometer should read 0°.

Question 58

Plantar flexion of the foot can also be described as extension of the leg.

Question 59

The thumb contains the only saddle joint in the body-the joint between the metacarpal bone and the proximal phalange.

Question 60

Ligaments are associated only with synovial joints.

Question 61

An example of a structural classification of a joint would be a fibrous joint.
