Question 27

Most joints of the body are classified as ________ jointsfibrous cartilaginous synovial immovable

Accepted Answer

Most joints of the body are classified as synovial joints

Question 28

Which of the following is NOT a factor that contributes to joint stabilityamount of synovial fluid in the joint cavity amount of muscle tone applied to tendons that cross the joint shape of the articulating surfaces number and positioning of reinforcing ligaments

Accepted Answer

The amount of synovial fluid in the joint cavity is not a factor that contributes to joint stability. The major role of synovial fluid is to lubricate the joint surfaces of freely movable (synovial) joints.

Question 29

The synovial membrane ________ lines the inside of the fibrous joint capsule reinforces the joints so that the opposing bones are not pulled apart covers and protects the articulating bone surfaces functions as a cushion between opposing bones

Accepted Answer

The synovial membrane lines the inside of the fibrous joint capsule and produces synovial fluid, which serves as a lubricant

Question 30

Synovial fluid does NOT ________ reduce friction between the articular cartilages prevent the articulating bones from dislocating nourish the cartilage cells in the joint contain phagocytic cells

Accepted Answer

Synovial fluid does not contribute to joint stability, and thus does not prevent the articulating bones from dislocating (being pulled apart)

Question 31

Which of the following is one difference between bursae and tendon sheaths?Bursae serve as cushioning fat pads between adjacent structures, while tendon sheaths reduce friction between adjacent structures. Bursae are only found in synovial joints, while tendon sheaths are only found in fibrous joints. Bursae contain a thin film of synovial fluid, while tendon sheaths lack synovial fluid altogether. Bursae are flattened fibrous sacs wedged between adjacent structures, while tendon sheaths are elongated fibrous sacs that wrap around tendons

Accepted Answer

Bursae are flattened fibrous sacs wedged between adjacent structures, while tendon sheaths are elongated fibrous sacs that wrap around tendons. Both bursae and tendon sheaths are associated with synovial joints, both reduce friction between adjacent structures, and both contain a thin film of synovial fluid.

Question 32

Which of the following is CORRECTLY pairednonaxial movement: no movement biaxial joint: permits movement in one plane and around one axis multiaxial movement: movement in all three planes and around all three axes uniaxial joint: permits only slipping or gliding movements

Accepted Answer

Multiaxial joints, such as the shoulder and hip, permit movement in all three planes and around all three axes

Question 33

Extension is an example of a(n) ________ movementangular gliding nonaxial rotational

Accepted Answer

Angular movements increase or decrease the angle between articulating bones. Extension is an angular movement that increases the angle between the articulating bones. Angular movements may occur in any plane of the body and include flexion, extension, hyperextension, abduction, adduction, and circumduction.

Question 34

When a person makes a pinching motion with their thumb and forefinger they are performing a movement called ________dorsiflexion retraction supination opposition elevation

Accepted Answer

The saddle joint between metacarpal I of the thumb and the trapezium allows a movement called opposition-the action taken when you touch your thumb to the tips of the other fingers on the same hand. It is opposition that makes the human hand such a fine tool for grasping and manipulating objects.

Question 35

The shoulder and hip are examples of ________. pivot joints plane joints condylar joints hinge joints ball-and-socket joints

Accepted Answer

The shoulder and hip are examples of ball-and-socket joints.

Question 36

Synovial joints are classified into six main categories based on ________. their location their size the amount of synovial fluid found in the joint cavity the shape of their articular surfaces

Accepted Answer

Based on the shape of their articular surfaces, which in turn determine the movements allowed, synovial joints can be classified into six major categories: plane, hinge, pivot, condylar (or ellipsoid), saddle, and ball-and-socket joints.

Question 37

Which ligament would one tap to generate the knee-jerk reflextibial collateral ligament oblique popliteal ligament anterior cruciate ligament patellar ligament

Accepted Answer

By tapping the patellar ligament, which connects the patella (kneecap) to the tibia, one can test the knee-jerk reflex. Stretching the patellar ligament in turn stretches the quadriceps tendon and muscle, triggering the stretch reflex that results in contraction of the quadriceps and extension (jerking) of the knee.

Question 38

Which of the following is NOT a muscle of the rotator cuff? subscapularis muscle biceps brachii muscle infraspinatus muscle supraspinatus muscle teres minor muscle

Accepted Answer

The biceps brachii is not one of the four rotator cuff muscles.

Question 39

The MAIN contributors to hip joint stability are __________the bulky hip and thigh muscles surrounding the joint the rotator cuff muscles the deep socket of the joint and strong capsular ligaments the muscle tendons that cross the joint

Accepted Answer

The main contributor to hip joint stability is the deep socket of the joint and the strong capsular ligaments. Joints that have shallow sockets, such as the shoulder and jaw (temporomandibular) joints, are relatively unstable and more easily dislocated.

Question 40

People who grind their teeth are likely to damage their ________. glenohumeral joint temporomandibular joints tibiofemoral joint coxal joint

Accepted Answer

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders often afflict people who grind their teeth, but can also result from jaw trauma or poor occlusion of the teeth. The TMJ is formed by the articulation between the temporal bone and mandible.

Question 41

The origin of a muscle is attached to the movable bone. True False

Accepted Answer

The origin is attached to the immovable or less movable bone; the insertion is attached to the movable bone.

Question 42

If a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is not properly repaired, the consequences could include the inability to prevent ________. medial rotation of an extended knee lateral rotation of an extended knee forward sliding of the tibia on the femur forward sliding of the femur

Accepted Answer

The ACL extends from the anterior intercondylar notch of the femur to the anterior intercondylar eminence of the tibia. This ligament prevents the tibia from being pushed too far anterior relative to the femur.

Question 43

To realign an anteriorly dislocated Temporomandibular joint (TMJ), a physician must push the mandible inferiorly and posteriorly in order to move the mandibular condyle past the temporal bone's ________. mandibular fossa articular tubercle articular capsule articular disc

Accepted Answer

A tubercle is a round nodule or bumpy outgrowth from the main body of a bone. This tubercle forms the anterior boundary of the mandibular fossa

Question 44

Which of the following is NOT a structural feature of synovial joints? a fluid-filled joint cavity bone ends united by fibrocartilage bone ends covered with hyaline cartilage reinforcing ligaments

Accepted Answer

In synovial joints, bone ends are covered, but not united with cartilage. Hyaline (articular) cartilage covers the bone ends. The fibrocartilage found in some synovial joints, such as the knee joint, provides additional cushioning between opposing bone ends.

Question 45

What is the most important stabilizing factor for most synovial joints? synovial fluid muscle tone the shape of the articular surfaces the size of the reinforcing ligaments

Accepted Answer

For most synovial joints, especially the knee and shoulder, the muscle tendons that cross the joint are the most important stabilizing factor. These tendons are kept taut at all times by muscle tone, constant, partial contraction of their muscles.

Question 46

Which type of joint allows opposition? saddle joint hinge joint condylar joint pivot joint

Accepted Answer

The saddle joint between metacarpal I and the trapezium allows a movement called opposition of the thumb-the action taken when you touch your thumb to the tips of the other fingers on the same hand. It is opposition that makes the human hand such a fine tool for grasping and manipulating objects.

Question 47

Which joint in the body is most susceptible to sports injuries? shoulder elbow knee wrist

Accepted Answer

the knees are most susceptible to sports injuries because of their high reliance on non-articular factors for stability and the fact that they carry the body's weight. The knee can absorb a vertical force equal to nearly seven times body weight. However, it is very vulnerable to horizontal blows, such as those that occur during blocking and tackling in football and in ice hockey.

Question 48

Which joint has sacrificed stability to provide great freedom of movement? elbow ankle shoulder knee

Accepted Answer

shoulder joint, stability has been sacrificed to provide the most freely moving joint in the body. The articulating bones provide minimal joint stability because of the size and fit of the articulating surfaces. The major stabilizing forces are soft tissue, in particular the tendons of the rotator cuff muscles (via muscle tone).

Question 49

In a sprain, the ________ of a joint are stretched or torn. muscles bones tendons ligaments

Accepted Answer

In a sprain, the ligaments that reinforce a joint are stretched or torn

Question 50
