Question 1

The joints of the body that are especially important for providing shock absorption are located in the:&#10;A)upper extremity&#10;B)lower extremity&#10;C)hand&#10;D)head

Accepted Answer

The joints of the lower extremity, such as the ankle, knee, and hip, are especially important for providing shock absorption as they support the body's weight during everyday activities like walking, running, and jumping. These joints also help reduce the impact of landing and absorb the shock created when the foot hits the ground.

Question 2

Which of the following are uniaxial joints?&#10;A)hinge and pivot&#10;B)saddle and condyloid&#10;C)ball-and-socket&#10;D)plane

Accepted Answer

Hinge and pivot joints only allow movement in one axis or plane. Saddle and condyloid joints are biaxial, ball-and-socket joints are triaxial, and plane joints have varying degrees of motion depending on their orientation.

Question 3

Which classification of joints allows the most movement?&#10;A)synarthrotic&#10;B)amphiarthrotic&#10;C)diarthrotic&#10;D)fibrous

Accepted Answer

Diarthrotic joints, also known as synovial joints, allow the most movement. These joints are characterized by having a synovial cavity filled with synovial fluid, articular cartilage, and a joint capsule. Examples of diarthrotic joints include the hip joint, knee joint, and shoulder joint. Synarthrotic joints don't allow any movement while amphiarthrotic allow limited movement. Fibrous joints are a type of joint that are connected by fibrous tissue and allow very little to no movement.

Question 4

What type of joint is located between a tooth and the mandible?&#10;A)syndesmosis&#10;B)gomphosis&#10;C)suture&#10;D)synchondrosis

Accepted Answer

A gomphosis joint is a type of fibrous joint that is located between a tooth and the mandible (or maxilla). The tooth is held in place by the fibrous periodontal ligament which anchors it to the surrounding bone.

Question 5

The function of a joint is to do what for movement?&#10;A)allow&#10;B)create&#10;C)limit&#10;D)modify

Accepted Answer

Joints allow for movement by connecting bones together and providing a range of motion through various degrees of flexion, extension, or rotation.

Question 6

Which of the following is a symphysis joint?&#10;A)intervertebral&#10;B)knee&#10;C)suture&#10;D)sacroiliac

Accepted Answer

Symphysis joints are a type of cartilaginous joint where bones are connected by fibrocartilage. The intervertebral joint between the vertebrae in the spine is an example of a symphysis joint. The knee joint (B) is a hinge joint, the suture joint (C) is a fibrous joint, and the sacroiliac joint (D) is a synovial joint.

Question 7

What are the three major structural classifications of joints?&#10;A)fibrous,fascial,and diarthrotic&#10;B)synarthrotic,amphiarthrotic,and diarthrotic&#10;C)fibrous,cartilaginous,and synovial&#10;D)osseous,cartilaginous,and synovial

Accepted Answer

The three major structural classifications of joints are fibrous, cartilaginous, and synovial. Fibrous joints are connected by fibrous tissue and are immovable or only slightly movable, while cartilaginous joints are connected with cartilage and are slightly movable. Synovial joints are the most common joint type and have fluid-filled cavities between the articulating bones, allowing for a wide range of movements. Therefore, option C is the correct answer. Option A is incorrect as fascial is not a recognized structural classification of joints. Option B is incorrect as these terms denote functional classifications, not structural classifications of joints. Option D is incorrect as osseous is not a recognized structural classification of joints.

Question 8

What are the three functional classifications of joints?&#10;A)fibrous,cartilaginous,and synovial&#10;B)synarthrotic,amphiarthrotic,and diarthrotic&#10;C)synovial,diarthrotic,and muscular&#10;D)synarthrotic,amphiarthrotic,and synovial

Question 9

Generally,which of the following classifications of joints go together?&#10;A)cartilaginous and diarthrotic&#10;B)synovial and amphiarthrotic&#10;C)cartilaginous and synarthrotic&#10;D)fibrous and synarthrotic

Accepted Answer

Fibrous joints are generally synarthrotic, meaning they are immovable, such as sutures in the skull.

Question 10

What term describes the most stable position of a joint?&#10;A)open packed&#10;B)closed packed&#10;C)open chain&#10;D)closed chain

Accepted Answer

The term closed packed refers to the most stable position of a joint, where the articular surfaces are in maximum contact and the ligaments and capsule are maximally taut. This is also known as the joint's "congruent position". The open packed position, on the other hand, is where the joint surfaces are not in maximum contact and the ligaments and capsule are relaxed, allowing for more movement but also less stability. Open and closed chain refer to different types of movement patterns, unrelated to joint stability.

Question 11
