Kinesiology Final - T or F
True
Dorsiflexion is the dorsal aspect of the foot moving toward the anterior tibia
true
a substantial number of low back problems are caused by improper use of the back over time
false
an ankle sprain is a common injury that involves the stretching or tearing of one or tendons
true
each thoracic vertebra has one pair of ribs that attaches to it laterally
false
each toe has three interphalangeal joints except for the great tow which has only two
false
hip flexion is the movement of the femur straight posteriorly toward the pelvis
true
muscles thta are considered to be wrist flexors include the flexor carpi radialis, flexor carpi ulnaris, and palmaris longus
true
normally, the hip joint can be abducted to approximately 35 degrees
false
the acetabulum inserts into the femoral head to form the acetabular femoral joint
true
the body will gradually, over time, attempt to adapt very specifically to the various stresses and overloads to which it is subjected
false
the cuboid bone is located medially with respect to the navicular bone
true
the femoral nerve innervates essentially all of the hip flexor muscles
true
the functions of the acetabular femoral joint include weight bearing and locomation
false
the iliofemoral or Y ligament is located posteriorly and prevents hyperextension
true
the most palpable point of the femur at the hip is the greater trochanter
true
the names of individual phases of sport skills may vary depending upon body part involved
true
the normal curves of the cervical and lumbar spines are lordotic
true
the obturator nerve innervates both the adductor longus and gracilis muscles
true
the patella is classified as an irregular bone
true
the patella serves as a pulley by improving the angle of pull with he result being a greater mechanical advantage for the quadriceps during knee extension
true
the right and left pelvis are joined together by the sacrum at the right and left sacroiliac joints
true
the tibia bears the majority of the weight as compared to the fibula
true
the tibial tuberosity serves as the insertion point for all of the quadriceps muscles
true
ulnar flexion is movement of little finger side of hand toward medial aspect or ulnar side of the forearm
true
vertebrae increase in size from the cervical to the lumbar region because the lower back supports more weight
