Question 1

The fibula is on which side of the lower leg?&#10;A) Medial&#10;B) Lateral&#10;C) Proximal&#10;D) Distal

Accepted Answer

The fibula is located on the lateral side of the lower leg, while the tibia is on the medial side.

Question 2

In moving from anatomical position into fundamental position,the forearm moves into&#10;A) pronation.&#10;B) supination.&#10;C) inversion.&#10;D) eversion.

Accepted Answer

In anatomical position, the forearm is in a neutral position (neither pronated nor supinated). In fundamental position, the palms are facing the sides of the body (not forward). To achieve this position, the forearm must rotate medially, leading to pronation. Therefore, the correct answer is A) pronation.

Question 3

A movement of one bone on another bone to cause an increase in joint angle is called&#10;A) flexion.&#10;B) extension.&#10;C) rotation.&#10;D) circumduction.

Accepted Answer

Extension is the movement that increases the angle between two body parts, which in the context of a joint, means to straighten or open up the joint, opposite to flexion which decreases the angle and typically bends the joint.

Question 4

When a person grasps an overhead exercise bar and pulls it down,what type of motion is occurring at the shoulder joint?&#10;A) Angular motion&#10;B) Linear motion&#10;C) Kinematic motion&#10;D) Torque motion

Accepted Answer

When a person grasps an overhead exercise bar and pulls it down, the shoulder joint is undergoing angular motion, also known as rotational motion. This means that the bones of the shoulder joint are moving around an axis or pivot point, rather than moving in a straight line (linear motion) or changing their position in space (kinematic motion). Torque motion is not a type of motion, but rather a force that causes motion.

Question 5

Turning your head to look over your left shoulder involves cervical&#10;A) left rotation.&#10;B) right rotation.&#10;C) left lateral bend.&#10;D) right lateral bend.

Accepted Answer

To look over your left shoulder, your cervical spine needs to rotate to the left, making option A the correct choice.

Question 6

Sliding your foot under your chair to prepare to stand involves knee&#10;A) flexion.&#10;B) extension.&#10;C) inversion.&#10;D) abduction.

Accepted Answer

Sliding your foot under your chair to prepare to stand requires bending your knee, which is a movement of flexion. Therefore, the correct answer is A) flexion. The other options, such as extension, inversion, and abduction, do not involve the movement required for this action.

Question 7

When the scapula moves into a protracted position,they move in what direction in relation to the spine?&#10;A) Superior&#10;B) Inferior&#10;C) Medial&#10;D) Lateral

Accepted Answer

When the scapula moves into a protracted position, they move in a lateral direction away from the spine.

Question 8

When a person steps forward to release a bowling ball,what type of motion of the body is occurring?&#10;A) Angular motion&#10;B) Linear motion&#10;C) Kinematic motion&#10;D) Torque motion

Accepted Answer

The answer of When a person steps forward to release...

Question 9

When a person abducts the shoulder to 90 degrees,then moves the arm backward,what is that motion called?&#10;A) Medial rotation&#10;B) Lateral rotation&#10;C) Horizontal adduction&#10;D) Horizontal abduction

Accepted Answer

Moving the arm backward from 90 degrees abduction is called horizontal abduction. This motion moves the arm away from the midline of the body, making it the opposite of horizontal adduction. Medial and lateral rotation refer to turning the arm inward or outward, respectively, and are not applicable to this motion.

Question 10

When a condition involves both of the legs,which of the following terms best describes this situation?&#10;A) Unilateral&#10;B) Ipsilateral&#10;C) Bilateral&#10;D) Contralateral

Accepted Answer

Bilateral means it involves both sides or both legs in this case.

Question 11

The ulna is where in relation to the humerus?&#10;A) Medial&#10;B) Lateral&#10;C) Proximal&#10;D) Distal

Accepted Answer

The answer of The ulna is where in relation to...

Question 12

In anatomical position,the thumb is located where in relation to the fingers?&#10;A) Medial&#10;B) Lateral&#10;C) Proximal&#10;D) Distal

Accepted Answer

The answer of In anatomical position,the thumb is located where...
