Question 1

Which injury is caused by repetitive movements that affect the wrist?&#8203;&#10;A) &#8203;tennis elbow&#10;B) &#8203;carpal tunnel syndrome&#10;C) &#8203;dorsiflexion&#10;D) &#8203;overextension

Accepted Answer

Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by repetitive movements that affect the wrist, resulting in pressure on the median nerve. Tennis elbow is caused by repetitive strain on the forearm muscles, dorsiflexion is a type of movement and not an injury, and overextension can refer to various injuries in different parts of the body.

Question 2

Eversion and inversion refer to movements of the ____.&#8203;&#10;A) &#8203;hand&#10;B) &#8203;wrist&#10;C) &#8203;knee&#10;D) &#8203;foot

Accepted Answer

Eversion and inversion specifically refer to movements of the foot. Eversion is when the sole of the foot turns outward away from the midline of the body, while inversion is when the sole of the foot turns inward towards the midline of the body.

Question 3

Extension increases the angle of bones.&#8203;

Accepted Answer

Extension refers to movement that increases the angle between bones, while flexion refers to movement that decreases the angle between bones. Therefore, the statement "Extension increases the angle of bones" is true.

Question 4

Pronation is a term used to describe movement of the jaw.&#8203;

Accepted Answer

Pronation is actually a term used to describe the inward rolling of the foot during walking or running. It is not related to the movement of the jaw.

Question 5

&#8203;A smooth gliding surface for opposing bones is provided by ____.&#10;A) &#8203;desmosomes&#10;B) &#8203;synovial fluid&#10;C) &#8203;sebum&#10;D) &#8203;sweat

Accepted Answer

Synovial fluid helps to reduce friction and provide a smooth gliding surface for opposing bones in synovial joints. Desmosomes are protein structures that help to anchor cells together, but do not provide lubrication for joint movement. Sebum and sweat are both involved in skin function and do not directly relate to joint movement.

Question 6

&#8203;An example of a ____ is the joint between the epiphyses and the diaphysis of a long bone.&#10;A) &#8203;gomphosis&#10;B) &#8203;symphysis&#10;C) &#8203;syndesmosis&#10;D) &#8203;synchondrosis

Accepted Answer

The joint between the epiphyses and the diaphysis of a long bone is an example of a synchondrosis joint, which is a type of cartilaginous joint that connects bones with hyaline cartilage.

Question 7

Synarthroses are freely moving joints or articulations.&#8203;

Accepted Answer

Synarthroses are actually immovable joints or articulations.

Question 8

A syndesmosis is an example of which type of joint?&#8203;&#10;A) &#8203;synarthrosis&#10;B) &#8203;amphiarthrosis&#10;C) &#8203;diarthrosis&#10;D) &#8203;gomphosis

Accepted Answer

A syndesmosis is a type of synarthrosis, which refers to a joint that allows for little or no mobility, typically characterized by fibrous connective tissue.

Question 9

&#8203;Most joints of the upper and lower limbs are ____.&#10;A) &#8203;amphiarthroses&#10;B) &#8203;sutures&#10;C) &#8203;diarthroses&#10;D) &#8203;synarthroses

Accepted Answer

Most joints of the upper and lower limbs are classified as diarthroses, which are also known as synovial joints. These joints allow for a wide range of movements and are lubricated by synovial fluid. Amphiarthroses are slightly moveable joints, such as those found between the vertebrae, while sutures are immovable joints found in the skull. Synarthroses are also immovable joints, but are found in other parts of the body, such as teeth and their sockets.

Question 10

A ball-and-socket is an example of a(n) ____ joint.&#8203;&#10;A) &#8203;uniaxial&#10;B) &#8203;biaxial&#10;C) &#8203;multiaxial&#10;D) &#8203;hinge

Accepted Answer

A ball-and-socket joint allows for movement in multiple directions (such as rotation, flexion, and extension) and is therefore considered a multiaxial joint. Uniaxial joints only allow for movement in one plane, biaxial joints allow for movement in two planes, and hinge joints allow for movement in only one direction (like a door hinge).

Question 11
