Bone mass decreases because bone is weaker, and the risks of fractures increase.

The palm is moved posteriorly toward the wrist.

Which of the following statements regarding the joints of the ankle and foot is FALSE? The distal tibiofibular joint is a fibrous syndesmosis between the distal facets of the tibia and fibula. The joint formed between the lateral malleolus of the fibula and the lateral articular surface of the talus is termed the fibulotalar joint. The proximal tibiofibular joint is a plane joint formed between the anteromedial surface of the tibia and the head of the fibula. The talocrural joint is a hinge joint formed by articulations among the tibia, the fibula, and the talus.

They are plane joints

Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of articular cartilages in synovial joints? They act as shock absorbers. They lack a perichondrium. They help reduce friction. They resemble hyaline cartilage in that their matrix is composed of about the same amount of fluid.

They resemble hyaline cartilage in that their matrix is composed of about the same amount of fluid.

T/F Intervertebral discs are NOT found in the sacrum or coccyx, nor are they found between C1 and C2 vertebrae.

True

Which of the following statements regarding circumduction of a pencil model is/are FALSE? It is a type of angular motion. The tip remains stationary, while the shaft, held at an angle of less than 90 degrees, describes a complete circle. With the tip at the same point, the angle of the shaft remains unchanged as the shaft spins around its longitudinal axis. An example of this would be moving your arm in a loop as when drawing a circle on the chalkboard.

With the tip at the same point, the angle of the shaft remains unchanged as the shaft spins around its longitudinal axis.

The type of angular motion known as ____ is movement away from the longitudinal axis of the body in the front plane.
