Question 1

As a rule,left rotation occurs within what plane?&#10;A)sagittal&#10;B)frontal&#10;C)transverse&#10;D)oblique

Accepted Answer

Transverse plane is the plane that divides the body into superior and inferior sections. Left rotation occurs within this plane.

Question 2

Where is the axis of movement in relation to axial motion?&#10;A)parallel&#10;B)perpendicular&#10;C)at an oblique angle&#10;D)circular

Accepted Answer

Axial motion refers to movement along or around an axis. Therefore, the axis of movement is perpendicular to axial motion.

Question 3

Which of the following creates the movement at a joint?&#10;A)muscle&#10;B)ligament&#10;C)joint capsule&#10;D)articular cartilage

Accepted Answer

Muscles are responsible for creating movement at a joint by contracting and pulling on the bones that make up the joint. Ligaments, joint capsules, and articular cartilage help to stabilize and protect the joint, but they do not create movement.

Question 4

Rectilinear and curvilinear are both what type of motion?&#10;A)nonaxial&#10;B)axial&#10;C)circular&#10;D)rotary

Accepted Answer

Rectilinear motion is straight-line movement, while curvilinear motion is movement along a curved path. Both are nonaxial because they do not necessarily occur around an axis.

Question 5

As a rule,extension occurs within what plane?&#10;A)sagittal&#10;B)frontal&#10;C)transverse&#10;D)oblique

Accepted Answer

Extension is a movement in which a limb or a joint is moved posteriorly or superiorly. This movement occurs within the sagittal plane, which divides the body into right and left halves.

Question 6

Which of the following is an example of naming a joint action completely?&#10;A)flexion of the femur of the thigh&#10;B)abduction of the arm&#10;C)extension of the forearm at the elbow joint&#10;D)dorsiflexion of the ankle joint

Accepted Answer

Extension specifies the direction of movement and the joint being moved (forearm at the elbow joint).

Question 7

What are the two basic types of motion?&#10;A)gliding and sliding&#10;B)nonaxial and translation&#10;C)axial and nonaxial&#10;D)circular and axial

Accepted Answer

The basic types of motion in anatomy are axial and nonaxial. Axial motion occurs around an imaginary axis, like rotation of the head or trunk. Nonaxial motion occurs when there is no axis of rotation, like sliding or gliding of bones in a joint. Choice A (gliding and sliding) is not the correct answer as these are examples of nonaxial motion. Choice B (nonaxial and translation) is incorrect because translation is a specific type of nonaxial motion, not a separate category. Choice D (circular and axial) is incorrect as circular motion is a type of motion that falls under axial motion.

Question 8

Which of the following motions are the same as nonaxial motion?&#10;A)gliding and rotary&#10;B)circular and sliding&#10;C)translation and linear&#10;D)sliding and axial

Accepted Answer

Nonaxial motion refers to movement that occurs in a straight line or in multiple directions without a fixed axis of rotation. Translation and linear motion fit this definition, while the other options involve some form of rotational or axial movement.

Question 9

As a rule,right lateral flexion occurs within what plane?&#10;A)sagittal&#10;B)frontal&#10;C)transverse&#10;D)oblique

Accepted Answer

Lateral flexion involves bending sideways to the left or right, and occurs within the frontal plane which divides the body into front and back portions. Rotation occurs within the transverse plane, while flexion and extension occur within the sagittal plane. Oblique plane is a diagonal plane which does not align with any of the other three major planes of motion.

Question 10

Which of the following limits movement at a joint?&#10;A)muscle&#10;B)ligament&#10;C)articular cartilage&#10;D)periosteum

Accepted Answer

Ligaments are dense fibrous connective tissues that attach bone to bone across a joint, limiting excessive or abnormal movement at the joint. Muscles can produce movement at the joint, articular cartilage provides smooth movement, and periosteum is a thin layer of tissue covering the bone surface that helps with nutrient and blood vessel supply.

Question 11
